Two 'peace volunteers' killed in Mohmand
[DAWN] Two peace volunteers were killed in a roadside blast in Ambar 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 Saturday. Sources said that Hazrat Noor and Mohammad Gul were going to Daroo bazaar on a cycle of violence when an improvised bomb placed on the road in the Sanger Khawar area went off. Noor was struck down in his prime. Gul was critically injured and taken to hospital where he died after a while. They had both remained members of a peace committee in the Mohmand tribal region. After the incident, security personnel launched a search operation in the area. However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... no arrest was reported. Posted by: Fred 2015-11-30 |
