[DAWN] At least 31 suspected faceless myrmidons were killed and several others injured when military planes pounded hideouts of the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) and Lashkar-e-Islam ...a group of Islamic bandidos infesting Khyber Agency. It's headed by a former bus driver.... (LI) in North ![]() According to an ISPR statement, "31 bad boyz were potted and their hideouts were destroyed in Khyber and North Waziristan agencies. Fourteen bad boyz were potted in area close to Pak-Afghan border in Khyber agency and 17 turbans in Shawal area of North Waziristan". Informed sources said that the planes targeted myrmidons' positions in Zoi, Zaidgai and Mana areas of Shawal and Dattakhel in North Waziristan close to South Waziristan border. They said the air strikes started at 9:30am and continued for two hours, destroying five hideouts. In Khyber Agency left... the place to go if you've got an Indiana Jones hat and whip. Chock full of high adventure and treacherous Pathans. You should really train up to it, though... />, the ISPR said, the air strikes were conducted in Rajgul and Ghaibee Kandaw passes of 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... territory in Tirah valley. The planes targeted hideouts of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain and Lashkar-e-Islam in the area, killing 14 turbans and injuring five others. Five hideouts were destroyed, the statement said. The air strikes were carried out a day after a suicide kaboom in Jamrud in which four people, including two Khasadar personnel, were killed and over 50 civilians were maimed. Both Taliban and LI grabbed credit of the attack. |
