Pakistain Air Force gunship helicopters bombed and destroyed five bases of alleged faceless myrmidons in various areas of Tirah Valley, Zakha Khel and Sepah tribes in the far-flung areas of  Khyber Agency on Sunday. According to reports, more than five suspected bad boyz were potted and many others were maimed in the shelling of the gunship helicopters. The armed lashkar of Zakha Khel had attacked the headquarter of Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) in Nari Baba, a far-flung area of Tirah. Twenty-six prisoners have also reportedly decamped from the privately-owned jails of LI, led by Mangal Bagh, who had been kidnapped from various parts of Khyber Agency for ransom, local sources said.
| Lovely people, those Lashkar-e-Islam, making friends with the natives wherever they might be. |
The former rebel commanders of LI have also covertly joined the Zakha Khel tribe fighters to fight Mangal Bagh-led forces in Tirah Valley, sources from Zakha Khel revealed. |
