NOR'-WEST FRONTIER TRIBESMEN BOMBED
KARACHI, February zl.

The Pakistan Air Force bombed about 800 tribesmen who attacked a fort. The attackers were said to have been the Fakir’s followers. Officials in Karachi attribute this renewal of operations by the tribesmen to the cease fire in Kashmir, from which a large number of tribesmen had returned, recently, under the truce which was arranged by the United Nations. _____________
