The political administration has arrested 15 tribesmen including a tribal elder under Section 40 of the Frontier Crimes Regulations under an ongoing crackdown against Mehsud tribesmen. Administration officials told Daily Times that on Saturday, Khasadar personnel arrested 15 people, including Mehsud elder Dilbar Khan. Officials said that earlier a crackdown was launched against the Shabi Khel, the Mehsud sub-tribe of TTP chief Baitullah Mehsud. Now, the action has been expanded to other Mehsud sub-tribes as well.
