FM radio station of local militant was destroyed when gunship helicopters targeted different hideouts of suspected Taliban on Friday in the restive area of tehsil Safi in Mohmand Agency, sources told.

According to details, gunship helicopters targeted the Alingar and Golono villages of the restive tehsil Safi which is considered the hot bed of local militants in the area near Pak-Afghan border in the north- west of the agency. FC sources told that an FM radio station run by militants for the propaganda against security forces came under the attack of helis and was destroyed. However no causality has been claimed till filing this story.  It is in the scenario in spite of the government’s tall claims that Mohmand Agency had been cleared of the militants. But the internally displaced people are still reluctant to go back in such circumstances.
