TTP-LI clash leaves 9 dead
At least seven militants and two civilians were killed on Saturday in an armed clash between the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Lashkar-e-Islami (LI) in the Tabai Bazaar area of Zakha Khel. The clash erupted when TTP militants reportedly kidnapped a man of the other militant group. The Lashkar-e-Islami militants surrounded a TTP hideout in the Tabai Bazaar area where nine people, including two passers-by, were killed in the exchange of fire between the two groups. Two militant commanders were also killed in the clash after which the Lashkar-e-Islami abducted another two TTP militants, said sources at the political administration, confirming the incident.Posted by: Fred 2010-06-06 |
