| Militants are killing, looting and kidnapping innocent people for ransom and attacking security forces personnel in Darra Adam Khel for over a month. A press release issued by the Frontier Corps Headquarters said that the miscreants were regularly attacking the personnel of law-enforcement agencies and looting banks and disrupting traffic on the main Indus Highway. It said the miscreants destroyed two important bridges leading to Kohat-Peshawar Tunnel and made repeated attempts to damage the Friendship Tunnel; however, their attempts were foiled by the FC troops. A big chunk of population has left Darra Adam Khel for safer places in other areas. It said Darra people were now asking the law-enforcement agencies to establish the state writ in the area so that they may return to their homes. |
