On Friday, armed assailants opened fired on the Azam Warsak police station in South Waziristan.
Media reports indicated that militants and insurgents were reorganizing in former Federally Administered Tribal Areas and in a few districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
These speculations were further augmented by a recent attack on a school van in Swat by unknown assailants, which left the driver dead and two students injured.
