Talib bullying and sectarian violence on the rise in Pakland
2007-11-18
The cat's at the dentist and the rats are swarming.
More than five people were killed and dozens were injured due to the terroristsÂ’ attacks on the people after Juma prayers in Parachinar, the Capital of Kurram Agency here on Friday.
"It's Friday! Prayers are over! And what's that mean, boyz and girlz?"
According to the details, last night at 8:00PM some unknown persons opened fire on two persons belong to the Ahl-e-Sunnat Waljamaat group of their personal enmity.
[BANG! BANG! BANGETY BANG!]
"Aaaaaiiiieeee!"
To take the advantage of the opportunity, a rival groups gave threats to Ahl-e-Sunnat Waljamaat to close the shops, the people worried to see the close shops. When people came out from the mosque (Imam Bargah), six persons opened indiscriminating fire from different places in the city with heavy weapons which killed four persons on the spot while five were injured, but later on the death toll were raised and due to tense situation the more casualties could not be reported.
An imam bargah is a Shiite mosque. A Sunni mosque is referred to as... ummm... a mosque.
It merits mentioning here that Pak Army troops are too busy to stop the war from extending to other areas.
"We got better things to do! Important things!"
It is also to be said here that the Taliban were disturbing the law and order in the area from the last few months and maintained links with banned organisations. Govt had already been informed about the situation but it take the matter into ease and had not take any serious note of the issue.
"Arrrrr! We got more important things to think about! Or are the miscreants members of the PPP, followers of Morticia and Gomez?"
It merits mentioning here that Taliban at Shasho arrested the people who were coming from Azla Payan to Parachinar and shifted them to unknown places.
"Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!"
Some unconfirmed sources said that Taliban also attacked on paramilitary troops in Parachinar and told that some were also killed and injured in the clashes.
"Kill the heathen Shiites! [BANG!] Death to America! [BANG!]"
APP adds: The political administration has imposed curfew in the Parachinar, headquarters of Kurram Agency, after severe armed clashes between two warring tribes that claimed two lives and several injured. Political Agent Kurram Agency Fakhre Alam Muhammadzai told APP on Friday that fighting erupted between Mengal and Turi tribe after two tribesmen of the former tribe were shot dead last night by unknown killers at Parachinar city.
[BANG!] "Die, yew Mengal varmint!"
The killing of Mengal tribesmen sparked the clashes Friday morning.
"Jed! Young Mahmoud's dead!"
"Dead? Who dunnit, Roy?"
"It wuz... It wuz... It wuz them Turis whut dunnit!"
"Round up the boyz, Roy! It's time to teach them Turis a lesson!"
The firing started after Juma congregation when the rival tribes entrenched and pounded each others targets with heavy weapons like rocket launchers, mortar shells. The Political Agent was however, not certain about the exact death toll.
"I was too busy keeping my head down!"
The unofficial sources put the casualties at six and 30 injured. The injured were shifted to Agency Headquarters Hospital Parachinar and admitted. The paramilitary forces, the Political Agent has moved in and deployed at the sensitive spots in aid of the civil administration.
