[Dawn] Although government claims that military operation in Bara subdivision of Khyber Agency is successful, yet a proscribed cut-thoat organisation has proved its presence by distributing leaflets in different areas, warning people to abide by its orders.Locals told Dawn that banned cut-thoat organisation Lashkar-i-Islam pasted leaflets in different parts of Malikdin Khel locality on Friday and Saturday, warning residents not to allow their women to travel alone or without a close male family member.
"Husbands would be penalised heavily if they allow their wives to travel alone in any public transport vehicle," the pamphlet warned. It threatened local residents, specially youth, to desist from shaving and uploading musical ring tones in their cellular phones. "The violators will be heavily fined," it warned.
The pamphlets have appeared at a time when security forces are engaged in a full-fledged military operation against the banned organisations and local residents are subjected to unspecified hours of curfew in different parts of Bara.
The appearance of these threatening pamphlets has terrorised local residents, who feel insecure owing to increasing incidents of murder and kidnapping for ransom in Bara.
