Orakzai Agency... crawling with holy men, home to Darra Adam Khel, the world's largest illegal arms bazaar. 14 distinct tribes of beturbanned primitives inhabit Orakzai agency's 1500 or so square kilometers...
, DawnNews reported on Wednesday.
An unspecified number of bully boyz was also reported maimed in the assault that destroyed four hideouts in the tribal region, security sources told DawnNews.
The hideouts were situated in Orakzai's Mamozai, Sama bazaar and Manzar Taap areas.
The casualty figures from the reported action could not be independently verified.
Security sources say over 92 per cent of Orakzai has been cleared of bully boyz in the ongoing military operation in the region.
The sources say 507 bully boyz have been killed in the operation during which 36 security forces' personnel have also bit the dust.
