Unidentified men beheaded two people in Shakar Tangi area of Orakzai Agency's Upper tehsil on Thursday. The two were residents of Kohat and Bannu. A source said the political authorities were reluctant to retrieve the bodies, dumped on a road along with a letter, because of the tense situation in the area. Separately, a public call office was damaged by unidentified people near the Fidiya Chowk of Orakzai Agency's Lower tehsil. Also on Thursday, transporters observed a strike in the agency against the arrest of Rabiakhel and Akehl tribesmen. The protesters alleged that the political authorities had arrested the tribesmen under the collective punishment clause of Frontier Crime Regulation and impounded their vehicles, adding the authorities had also not visited the agency for the last two years, leaving the tribesmen at the mercy of Taliban. The protesters said Levies forces were also stationed in Hangu and the political authorities were arresting the tribesmen on the pretext of militancy.
