| Nine people were killed and another seven injured when members of two rival banned organisations clashed in Khyber Agency's Tirah valley on Friday. The clash between Lashkar-e-Islam and Ansarul Islam took place in the valley's Malik Din Khel area. Both sides used heavy weaponry against each other, destroying several houses in the area. More than a 1,000 people have lost their lives during sporadic clashes between the two groups during the last several months, forcing residents to move to safer places. |
