LADDAH: Taliban destroyed a border base camp of the Afghan National Army near Angoor Adda in South Waziristan on Sunday.

 

Sources said the Taliban planted explosives all over the base and blew it up, destroying bunkers and installations.

 

Local tribesman Izzat Gul, who claimed to be an eyewitness, said the Taliban blew up the base camp at around 10:30am when a contingent stationed there moved out of the fortified compound. After the explosions, the Taliban and a group of tribesmen took away all useful items from the camp.
