'A cowardly attack'
Condemning the incident, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid termed the attack "a cowardly attempt of anti-state elements". He vowed to make an example out of the terrorists involved in the attack.
The minister also especially prayed for the martyred FC soldier.
"Those trying to attack the country's security and survival will never succeed in fulfilling their evil designs," Rashidh added.
The attack comes less than two weeks after FC soldier, Sepoy Sher Zamin, was martyred during a security operation in North Waziristan district.
The funeral prayers of the soldier were offered in his native village of Shalman the next day.
