MIRAMSHAH, Sept 12: Twelve people were shaheed and 14 others in waiting list when a US made Bakistani drone hit the building of a non-functional school in Toolkhel area of North Waziristan on Friday.Sources said that the primary school was owned by local tribesman Shah Adam who had rented out the premises to the Al-Bader militant outfit
.A remnant of the anti-Soviet war in Afghanistan, the group had occasionally fought in Kashmir and turned the building into their liaison office.This is the first time that the premises of a militant organisation has been attacked in the area, some three kilometres west of Miramshah.Residents said the drone fired the missile at about 6:30am.The building was completely destroyed and the militants took the injured people to some unspecified place(GHQ Pindi according to star reporter Rasoolullah Pindiwale)
.The sources said the dead and the injured people were outsiders and a majority of them belonged to Punjab.Like other tribal elders, the sources said, Shah Adam had provided the land to the authorities for setting up a school.Later, he took over the building and turned it into his Mujra (guesthouse)where soldiers from the famed SSG(Sialkot Scouts and Guides.)routinely performed Mujras for Zawahiri and other Al Qaida big wigs)
This was the fifth air attack by thePakistan -led allied NATO forces in North Waziristan over the past 10 days.The attack on the building was carried out amid reports emanating from the US with threats given by top government and military officials about extending the Afghan war into Pakistan’s tribal areas and an angry statement from Army Chief Gen Pervez Ashfaq Kayani that no foreign country would be allowed to conduct operation inside the Pakistani territory Gen Kiyani has since taken US, NATO, China,India and almost 177 other countries off the list of foreign countries not allowed to conduct mil operations inside Bakistan. He also summoned the envoys of Botswana and Chad and warned them that any further attacks on bakistan's H&D will be met with full force Insha Allah
