On Saturday, Gunmen gunned down three local tourists and their driver in a tribal region along the Afghanistan border. Ikhlaq Bangash, the deputy administrator in South Waziristan, said a group of tourists from Dera Ismail Khan was camping in the Momi Karam area when the gunmen struck Friday night. Bangash stated that the attackers torched the camp after shooting the tourists and fleeing. No group immediately claimed responsibility, but Islamic militants have long operated along the porous border.
