LADDAH: Three security personnel were killed and 10 others suffered injuries when militants attacked a convoy in the Pash Ziarat area of South Waziristan here on Tuesday evening, intelligence sources said on Wednesday.
The convoy was going from Shawal in South Waziristan to Razmak in North Waziristan when it came under attack near the Pash Ziarat area.

The security forces countered the attack and exchanged fire with the militants for about two hours. At least 10 militants were killed during the clash.
Sources said that the security forces in the Razmak camp resorted to heavy mortar fire to target the militants in the area.
However, the information about the clash and the killing of security personnel and militants could not be verified from officials of the Inter Services Public Relations in Islamabad. Several attempts made by this correspondent to contact the ISPR officials remained futile.
According to locals, an official of the bomb disposal squad was injured when an explosive device he was trying to defuse went off in the Speen Jamat locality near Pash Ziarat.
