Peace body member found slaughtered in Mohmand
[Dawn] The body of a member of local peace committee was found in Shagai area of Haleemzai tehsil of  Mohmand Agency... 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 Peshawar, Charsadda, and Mardan. Mohmands are also scattered throughout Pakistan in urban areas including Karachi, Lahore, and Quetta. In Afghanistan they are mainly found in Nangarhar and Kunar... on Tuesday. Officials said that the victim, Raad Gul, was kidnapped by unidentified persons outside his house last night. His body was dumped in a playground in Shagai, they added. Raad Gul was an active member of Haleemzai Peace Committee. The officials of political administration shifted the body to agency headquarters hospital in Ghalanai and later handed it over to his family. They said that the victim was slaughtered. Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain front man Ihsanullah Ihsan grabbed credit of the killing of the volunteer. He told local journalists by telephone that all those people who were supporting the peace committees and the government, would be targeted. The political authorities brought sniffer dogs to trace the killers of the peace volunteer. The dogs entered the house of a primitive, whose sons are already in the custody of security forces for their alleged involvement in a blast at Chanda about three months ago. The security forces conducted search operation in Babikhel area and set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! seven rustics including shopkeepers and shifted them to Ghalanai lockup. Posted by: Fred 2012-12-03 |
