KURRAM AGENCY: Four FC officials, including a Captain, were martyred and three injured in three landmine explosions in the border area of Kharlachi, local political authorities said on Sunday.
The bodies of the martyred, including Capt Husnain, Sepoy Saeed Baaz, Sepoy Qadir and Sepoy JUmma Gul, and the injured had been shifted to Parachinar. Those wounded include Naik Anwar, Sepoy Zahir and Lance Naik Sher Afzal.
An ISPR statement says the martyred and the wounded personnel were part of the search team that traced the kidnappers of the recently recovered foreigners.
