Soldier lays down his life in Kurram clash
[DAWN] PARACHINAR: One soldier laid down his life during a shootout with suspected forces of Evil in central division of Kurram Agency
...home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, where the laws of cause and effect are assumed to be suspended, conveniently located adjacent to Tora Bora...
on Monday. A captain and another soldier suffered injuries in the clash.

Officials said that helicopter gunships were engaged to assist the troops on the ground and several forces of Evil were killed in shelling.

However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable...
the claim could not be verified from independent sources.

Clashes erupted in the Gundau Zawa area, adjacent to the Tirah Valley in the Khyber tribal region. The incident coincided with Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa’s visit to the Tirah Valley.

The dear departed soldier was identified as Ismail while the injured were Captain Ghafar and Naik Khizar.

Later, the troops launched an operation in the area to trace the bad boys.
