| [Dawn] Ten gun-hung tough guys were killed and five others injured when helicopter gunships pounded their hideouts in various areas of Lower Orakzai Agency ... home to Darra Adam Khel, the world's largest illegal arms bazaar... on Saturday. Official sources said that military helicopters targeted cut-thoat positions in Andar Mella, Malokhel and Saidkhel villages after nine people, security personnel among them, were kidnapped. Sources said that those kidnapped were going from Bezotkhel to Kohat on Friday when gun-hung tough guys stopped their vehicles in Saidkhel area and forcibly took them away. Three hideouts were destroyed in the shelling. The political administration called a meeting of the elders of Bezotkhel, Perozkhel and Istrikhel tribes and asked them to take action against gun-hung tough guys who were attacking security forces' convoys and government installations in the area. The elders were told to inform the security forces about the movement of gun-hung tough guys in their areas. |
