Shah Nasim says the militants
launched Monday's early morning attack in the Bajour region with mortar and
rocket fire that covered their subsequent advance onto the Frontier Corps
checkpoint. The checkpoint is located near Kitkot village in Pakistan's Mamound
area of Bajour.
Nasim, a senior official in Mamound, said soldiers fought the
militants for more than two hours before reinforcements arrived and managed to
push the attackers back over the border into Afghanistan's Kunar province.
