PESHAWAR: Two men were killed after a landmine exploded on a dirt road in a village in the Bajaur Agency, a local resident said on Monday.
One of the men died at the scene in Jangzai village, said Sharif Khan, a resident of the village. The second man died of injuries while he was being taken to a hospital, Khan said. The explosion occurred on Sunday and both men were in their 30s, he said. There was no official confirmation of the blast and it was not known who may have planted the explosive in Jangzai. The town is about five kilometres from Damadola,<./b> a village where an alleged Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) air strike on Friday killed at least 17 people. ap
Now what do we make of this...
Hamburger?
a mine? a little too random I would think for US purposes - unless it was the kind where someone, let's say standing on a killside a distance away, can detonate it remotely as a specific person walks by?
Kind of odd in this cosmic sort of way that these two gents turn up dead from a landmine explosion....that no one has confirmed even took place...and the village is only 5 miles from the scene of the Zawahiri strike.
you think their bodies were dumped on the road - that they were really killed in the predator strike?
I don't know...
Check this out..
Is a killside, a killing hillside?
no, its just a hillside - that was a typo.
hmm....
But if covered with mines, it would be a killside.
I wonder if they were guests to the dinner party..
Hard to say. They could have trying to get even for the party blast, too and just had an accident.
MSM headlines tommorrow.. 'Senator Kennedy denounces the U.S. for unwarranted killings of bomb planters'.
Exactly -
They are being hunted in their own sanctuary. And with fear comes chatter....and rats.
LOL. Absolutely.
I hadn't heard of landmines on the Pakistani side very often....seems a bit unusual.....out of character.
