Three killed in shootout during tribal jirga
[DAWN] At least three rustics were killed and six others injured when an armed clash broke out between two groups during a jirga in Gulistan area of Qila Abdullah district on Sunday.

A bigwig of the Levies Force said the two sides had organised the jirga to resolve a murder dispute between them.

Sources said a tribal elder, Lala Khan Badaizai, had gone to the Gulistan area, along with some other elders, to attend the jirga held at the residence of his cousin Niaz Badaizai, who had a murder dispute with a rival group.

During the proceedings of the jirga some harsh words were excha­nged by the two groups. As a result, a clash broke out, which claimed the lives of three people on the spot.

The dead included the young son of Lala Khan Badaizai and his gunman.

The Levies official confirmed that three people had been killed in the shootout, adding that six other persons were maimed.
