Ansarul Islam claims control over Tirah valley
 The chief of the banned outfit Ansarul Islam (AI), Qazi Mehboobul Haq, Wednesday claimed to have taken the complete control of Bar Qambar Khel after burning several houses of the opponents at remote Tirah Valley in Khyber Agency. Addressing on his private FM radio, he said the flag of AI was hoisting on Tortoot of Bara tehsil adjacent to Satho area of Kurram Agency, as the area of Qambarkhel came under the control of his group. Mehboob said a cache of sophisticated arms and ammunition left by the opponents at Toray seminary was seized. He said the houses of the people who voluntarily migrated from Tirah Qambarkhel would not be demolished. Posted by: Fred 2009-02-12 |
