Pakistan army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on Tuesday escaped an attempt on his life when Taliban militants fired rockets at an area in South Waziristan tribal agency shortly after his visit to the troubled region.

Kayani was accompanied by air force Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman on a joint visit to the restive tribal region on Tuesday.

The militants fired at least four rockets in Laddha area as soon Kayani left the area, Geo News reported. A media team covering the army chief's visit had to hide in a bunker.

No casualties were reported in the incident. Soon after the attack, security personnel retaliated with gunfire , the channel reported.

The spokesman of the Inter-Services Public Relations of the Pakistan Army, however , denied the attack in a statement issued. The army and air chiefs of Pakistan visited the troubled region in the wake of reports that militants have been flushed out from over 85% of the area. The Pakistan military launched a crackdown against Taliban and al-Qaida militants in the northwestern tribal areas, bordering Afghanistan, more than a year ago. AGENCIES

Fake attacks. If you notice all the attempts on Musharraf too used to be a few minutes after he passed a place. Just to show the terrorists are no friends of pak army. All mili bhaghat. The killers of bhutto found their mark the first time.
