At least seven militants killed in Hangu
[Dawn]  Security forces shelled bad turban hideouts in northwest Pakistain's Hangu district... Hangu is famous for its greenery, hills, beauty and water. Most of the people of this area are Bangash & Orakzai Pashtuns. Part of the Bangash are Shia. The Orakzai and the Sunni Bangash are determined to kill them... on Thursday killing at least seven thugs, DawnNews reported. Separately, one security official was killed and five others were maimed when a landmine went kaboom!in the Mohmand ... Named for the Mohmand clan of the Sarban Pahstuns, a truculent, quarrelsome lot. In Pakistain, the Mohmands infest their eponymous Agency, metastasizing as far as the plains of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar, Charsadda, and Mardan. Mohmands are also scattered throughout Pakistan in urban areas including Bloody Karachi, Lahore, and Quetta. In Afghanistan they are mainly found in Nangarhar and Kunar... tribal region. The mine went kaboom!in the tribal region's Safi tehsil. Posted by: Fred 2011-04-29 |
