Published January 14, 2008

MARDAN, Jan 13: Unidentified assailants fired a rocket on the house of Azam Khan, a PML-Q candidate for PF-30, partially damaging its roof and the boundary wall.

Mr Khan, a former chairman of the Police Public Safety Commission, told journalists that his house came under the rocket attack early on Sunday morning.

Terming the attack a cowardly act, he said his family had no enmity with anyone.
