| Security forces on Wednesday launched a military operation in Darra Adam Khel and demolished the house of a local militant commander after talks between security forces and local tribal elders fell apart. Aaj TV reported that a jirga held in the Zarghon area of Darra Adam Khel had collapsed when local elders failed to present militants who had opened fire on a security forcesÂ’ vehicle to the jirga. It said that the jirgaÂ’s failure had resulted in security forces demolishing the house of local Taliban commander Ajmal. The militants retaliated, but the security forces continued their operation and destroyed several positions, it added. |
