The security forces also started an operation to search for and arrest Taliban in Glokas, Tang Khata, Rashakai, Khazana and Kairala and bombed various houses owned by Taliban militants. Meanwhile, a grand jirga of the Salarzai tribe set a three-day deadline for the Taliban and anti-state elements to leave the tehsil, warning them they would otherwise be shot at sight. The elders of Mamond tehsil have also convened a grand jirga today (Tuesday) at Khar to announce their support to the security forces in the ongoing military operation to flush out Taliban from the agency. | |
