WANA: Three people were killed in Wana Bazaar on Wednesday when rival groups shot at each other during a jirga (tribal council) that had been called to discuss the increasing frequency of robberies and kidnappings in South Waziristan Agency. Witnesses told Daily Times that the Ahmedzai Wazir jirga turned into a battlefield when one group accused another of being involved in crime. "Tribesman Gado held Bad Khan responsible for the robberies, which angered Bad Khan who shot and killed Gado," witnesses added. In retaliation, Gado's supporters shot and killed Bad Khan while Ismail Khan was caught in the crossfire and died in hospital, they said. The jirga dispersed immediately and it was not clear whether they would assemble again to discuss measures against the growing lawlessness.
