Rocket attacks amid al Qaeda hunt

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Three people have been injured in two rocket attacks on Pakistani army camps in the northwestern region of the country near the border of Afghanistan.
The area has seen increased military activity as the Pakistani army intensifies its hunt for members of al Qaeda who may be hiding in the rugged hills and mountains.
The first attack came when rockets were fired on an army compound in Wana, one of the two main towns in the tribal region of South Wazirstan.
Two soldiers were wounded and two military vehicles were damaged, officials said.
In the second attack, at least five rockets were fired into an army camp in Shakai, wounding one person, according to a political administration official.
Meanwhile, residents of Wana and its surrounding areas were put under a dusk-to-dawn curfew, a government official told CNN.
The curfew -- issued by assistant political agent Khan Bux -- forbids residents from leaving their homes after evening prayer and bans traffic.
The notice says anyone seen traveling or walking anywhere outside their homes would be shot.
The order came in the wake of attacks on military posts in the area for the past several nights.
Also, local tribesmen on Thursday handed over to the political administration six men who were wanted for harboring foreigners in Shakai.
An assembly of Shakai tribesmen handed over Shadil Khan, Hafiz Dilnawaz, Ghulam Rasool, Noor Mohammed, Wazir Rehman and Zigarai, assistant political worker Wana Khan Bakhsh said.
The men were transferred to the lock-up in Wana, he said.
Last week, Shakai tribesmen surrendered 40 wanted men to the administration under an agreement.
Twenty-one of those men were transferred to Peshawar for further investigation.
