2 die as militants hit security sites
Two people were killed today when militants attacked security bases in Tank, Pakistan, apparently in revenge against police who killed two militants trying to recruit schoolchildren Monday, police said.
The militants attacked a police station and a paramilitary base with rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons before dawn. Security forces returned fire.
Four banks and a government office were destroyed and several other buildings were damaged, witnesses said.
One member of the Frontier Constabulary paramilitary force was killed along with a bank watchman, police said.
