Two Amn Committee volunteers killed in Khyber explosion
2014-01-16
[DAWN] A roadside remote-controlled kaboom in Khyber Wednesday killed two volunteers of the Amn Committee
... Peoples' Peace Committee is a group of brown turbans tied to the Pakn People's Party and based in Bloody Karachi. It was founded by an infamous gangster, Rehman Dakait in 2008. It is accused of being involved in organized crime and gang wars. After Rehman departed this vale of tears in 2009, leadership of the group was taken over by Uzair Baloch, who is probably associated with the Tataglias. The Amn Committee was banned in Pakistain in 2011, which means squat....
, DawnNews reported.

Unknown turbans installed a remote-controlled bomb at a roadside in Khyber's Zakakhel area near a barricaded post of Amn Committee. The bomb went off with a loud kaboom. Subsequently, two Amn Committee volunteers departed the gene pool.

Following the kaboom, security personnel cordoned off the area and a probe into the incident went underway.

Earlier last week, nine people, including three children, were killed and several others maimed when a blast rocked the house of a tribal elder in the northwestern Khyber tribal region.

Khyber is part of Pakistain's semi-autonomous tribal belt on the Afghan border. The Taliban and other Al Qaeda-linked groups, who stage attacks in both countries, are known to have strongholds in the zone.
