Terrorist Compound Obliterated In Pakistan
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) - A resident says a powerful explosion has destroyed a militant compound in northwestern Pakistan’s tribal region, killing eight people.
The cause of the explosion early Monday in Bar Qambarkhel village is unclear. A militant spokesman claims it was a missile strike launched from neighboring Afghanistan.
It comes three days after Pakistani paramilitary forces launched a major offensive against pro-Taliban militants in Khyber.
Resident Nawaz Khan Afridi says he was woken by a loud explosion and joined dozens of villagers is rescuing survivors. He says he saw eight bodies.
Militant spokesman Munsif Khan claims it was a missile strike which had killed at least six supporters of the Vice and Virtue Movement and wounded 20.
