Bomb kills anti-Taliban militiaman, three others in Lower Dir

PESHAWAR - A roadside bomb targeted an anti-Taliban militia member in a remote village of Lower Dir on Tuesday, ripping through his vehicle and killing four people, police said.
"The bomb targeted anti-Taliban militia member Aziz-ur-Rehman. His 12-year-old son, a son-in-law and a neighbour who were also travelling in his car were also killed," local police chief Salim Khan Marwat told AFP.
"It was a remote-controlled IED (improvised explosive device) which exploded when the vehicle passed. Two people passing near by the car were wounded," said Marwat.
Another police official said the victims were travelling from their home village of Ghundo to the Samar Bagh area, 60 kilometres (37 miles) northwest of Timergarah, the main town of Lower Dir.
