Pashtun Hatfields, McCoys shoot it out in Gulistan
2002-02-16
  • Two tribesmen were killed in a clash between Hameedzai and Ghabizai - two clans of the Pashtun Achakzai Tribe - in the Gulistan area, northwest of Quetta. Both clans used heavy weapons including rockets and heavy machine guns against each other. The firing started in the morning, and continued through out the day. Armed men of both clans had taken positions on top of hills and in trenches. Firing and explosions remained continue till late night.

    Hameedzai and Ghabizai have been fighting against each other for the last 12 years after the murder of Mohammad Khan Ghabizai, who was shot dead by unknown armed men near Gulistan when he was on his way home along with his two sons. The sources said that after the clash both groups blocked Quetta-Chaman National Highway and suspended traffic on the main road.
    Paw was bumped off by "unknown assailants" while walking home with his sons, Mahmud-Bob and Clem. They've been feuding over it for the last twelve years. Poor Fatimah-May is in love with the handsome Jimmy-Joe Abdullah, but they can't marry because they're not close enough kin, besides which he's one o' them Hameedzai varmints, so she's pinin' away...
