| DARA ADAM KHEL: Suspected pro-Taliban militants blew up a barber’s shop and injuring relatives of MNA Dr Nasim Afridi in separate incidents on Saturday, tribal sources said. Barber Abdul Salam’s shop in Raheem Kalay near the main Dara bazaar was damaged in a bomb explosion at 2:00am on Saturday. “The explosion damaged the shop, but no one was injured since the shop was empty when the bomb went off,” tribal police sources told Daily Times. Barbers are the latest group to be targeted by militants, who earlier targeted video stores and music shops and businessmen dealing in prize bonds. Militants in Bajaur had already warned barbers against shaving men’s beards. Meanwhile, two unidentified motorcyclists shot and injured relatives of MNA Dr Nasim Afridi late on Friday night in the Dara bazaar. Farooq, nephew of the tribal parliamentarian, and Moin Khan, another close relative of Dr Nasim, were walking in the bazaar at 8:00pm when unidentified motorcyclists approached them and shot at them from close range, injuring them both. |
