four suspected holy warriors during a raid on a house in Jamrud tehsil of Khyber Agency.

Officials said that the forces raided the house of Menar Gul in Ghundi area following information about the presence of some outlaws. They said that the forces arrested four suspects and took them to Jamrud lock-up for interrogation.

Also, Sajid Khan was critically maimed in Jamrud when a stray bullet hit him at midnight.

...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac?
Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features.
If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng, he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!...

the Kukikhel
...a tribe of primitives inhabiting Khyber Agency. They are a branch of the Afridi tribe. Traditionally they have been migratory, tromping between Jamrud and the Rajgal valley with the seasons. The tribe has had mustache-cursing relationships with several other tribes, including the Zakkakhel and Kambarkhel, and with the Mullagori. They make welcome most anyone with a turban and automatic weapons, but every once in awhile they get together a tribal lashkar to mollify the government...

Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.

The 30-member action committee of the Kukikhel elders met in Jamrud on Friday and took serious notice of what they called illegal construction of houses on the disputed piece of land.

The committee members contended that despite Peshawar High Court orders banning construction on the disputed land, the PDA had been continuing construction on the land claimed by the Kukikhel tribe.

"The PDA instead of resolving the issue through peaceful means is creating problems by openly disregarding the court orders," the committee members alleged and warned that the PDA would be responsible if any untoward incident occurred at the site.

The committee also submitted an application to the Khyber Agency political administration to take up the matter with the PDA officials and ask them to stop the construction of houses and demolish all illegal buildings on the disputed land. It asked the PDA to wait till the matter was decided by the committee formed under PHC instructions.
