[Dawn] Unidentified armed persons rubbed out a thug commander along with his aide in Kalosha village of South Wazoo Agency in the small hours of Thursday.

Sources said that Wali Mohammad, brother of Taliban capo Nek Mohammad, along with his aide was asleep in the apple farm of his uncle when two armed persons sneaked into the orchard and opened firing on them. Wali Mohammad and his friend, whose name couldn't be ascertained, were killed on the spot, they added.

Wali Mohammad and few other thug commanders including Omar, Abbas and Ghulam Khan had been expelled from Wana, the agency headquarters of South Waziristan, along with foreign forces of Evil about five years ago.

Political Agent Syed Abdul Jabar Shah on Thursday urged the rustics to fulfil their collective responsibilities to check thug activities in their area.

Addressing a jirga of Salarzai rustics, he said that security forces and tribal people rendered sacrifices to eliminate forces of Evil from the agency.

He said that peace and writ of the government in the region had been restored with the efforts of security forces and tribal elders but it didn't mean that forces of Evil had been eliminated completely.

He said that action would be taken against the tribe concerned if any public property was attacked in its area.

Commandant Bajaur Scouts Col Shakeel also addressed the jirga and said Salarzai tribe rendered great sacrifices for restoration of peace but the recent thug activities in the area put negative impact on its performance.
