    Taliban militants in Swat valley blew up a local PML-Q leader's home.

    Taliban militants in Pakistan's troubled northwestern Swat valley on Wednesday blew up a house belonging to opposition PML-Q leader and former federal minister Amir Muqam.

    Muqam was not present in the home, located in Madyan area of Swat, at the time of the incident, local media reported.

    About 70 militants entered Muqam's residence and blew it up after occupying the house early on Wednesday morning. There were no reports of casualties in the incident.

    Muqam had survived a suicide attack on his home in Peshawar in late 2007.

    The local Taliban also asked a tribal elder in the same area to vacate his home and shift his family to some other place.
