Farooq Khan, an administrative official, said that they were conducting raids and had plugged all the entry and exit points to locate the missing khasadar. Meanwhile, ...back at the argument, Jane reached into her purse for her .38... was entering a new and more dangerous phase... two kukikhel rustics were critically injured when a time device went kaboom!at a market in Tirah valley of the tribal region. The kukikhel elders blamed the Taliban of Tariq Afridi group for the blast. Kukikhel volunteers recently flushed out Taliban and destroyed one of their important bases in Maylo area. Meanwhile, ...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck and Manuel's rivalry was entering a new and more dangerous phase... police have confirmed killing of a commander of Lashkar-i-Islam and injuries to three other bad turbans, who had clashed with law enforcers on the outskirt of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar on Tuesday. Peshawar SSP Tahir Ayub Khan told Dawn that Shahbaz, a commander of a splinter group of Lashkar-i-Islam, had sustained injuries in the encounter at Frontier Road and he succumbed to his wounds. "His death was confirmed on Wednesday," the SSP said and added that the hard boyz had taken their injured colleagues with them while fleeing to the tribal region. He said that there was information about injuries to the hard boyz but it was confirmed later. He said that Frontier Road was located between settled and the tribal areas and hard boyz had attacked police from the tribal side where law enforcers were not allowed to enter. They had to seek cooperation of Frontier Corps and political administration for any action against hard boyz in tribal areas, he added. "We have provided heavy weapons to police in the rural areas to counter the terrorist attacks and that is why movement of the anti-state elements has been restricted," he claimed.
