Mullah Abdul Mannan Khawajazai and Mullah Mohammad Akbar, who served as Taliban provincial governors and military commanders, were shot in the attack late on Monday in Peshawar, said relatives, refusing to be identified. Several hundred people attended their burial at the Gul Hassan village, south of Chaman, on Wednesday, witnesses said. The relatives said they had no information about the identity or motive of the gunmen. The police in Peshawar could not be reached for comment.
