PESHAWAR: Two security personnel were killed and one was injured on Wednesday when an explosion took place during a routine checking in Tehsil Safi, Mohmand Agency, officials said.
The incident occurred in the Alengar area of Tehsil Safi where two men, who were part of the Khasadar force, were on a routine check of the area. Another was injured and shifted to the hospital, “one of the Khasadars stepped over a mine hidden under the rocks,” a government official said.
The deceased men were identified as Yad Gul and Jahanzeb while Mian Khan was injured.
Tehsil Safi was considered to be the homeland of the Taliban in Mohmand prior to the security forces operation that cleared the area.

This IED thingy is becoming a serious problem. There should be some regulation on the sale and purchase of Fertilizers, particularly on its export to Afghanistan. In addition to this, I also feel that this war has now lingered too much. The present negotiations must also take into consideration the possibility of bringing the estranged segments back into the mainstream so that they can start living a normal life.
