KOHAT Militants launched a rocket attack on the flour mills of NWFP minister for housing, Amjid Afridi, on Sunday. The mills are situated near Gumbat in Kohat.

So far, no casualties have been reported.

The mills caught fire immediately after the attack and the blazing inferno took several hours to extinguish.

The second and third floors of the mills were completely damaged causing losses worth millions.

Preliminary investigation suggested the rockets had been fired from a close range and that the attack could be the result of a personal vendetta. — DawnNews
