At least three suspected militants were killed earlier today in a remote-controlled blast in the Sipah area of Bara tehsil in Khyber tribal region.
The militants were from the outlawed Lashkar-i-Islam group and were travelling in their vehicle when they passed the area where they were hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) planted along a roadside, according to media sources.
The vehicle was of LI commander Shams who was not present in it at the time of the explosion, sources said. They added that the vehicle was completely destroyed in the explosion and three militants were killed as a result.
