At least 12 people were killed in two separate Death Eater attacks in the troubled Khyber district on Saturday.
Some 18,000 people decamped their homes in Khyber last month amid fears of a fresh onslaught of fighting between the army and Islamic fascisti tied to the Pak Taliban.
Pakistain's army has previously launched a series of offensives targeting the the Lashkar-e-Islam (LI), a Taliban-allied Death Eater group waging a local insurgency.
Pakistain's seven tribal districts near the Afghan border are rife with a homegrown insurgency and are strongholds of Taliban and al Qaeda operatives.
