| [The News (Pak) Top Stories] A Taliban commander killed six militants before being shot dead by another insurgent in Batara area in Chagharzai late Thursday. Sources said that the Taliban commander Shah Zar Khan from Choga area developed differences with his associates over the July 29 attack on the house of Haji Khalil, a worker of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz. Shah Zar opened fire on his colleagues when they were offering Maghrib prayers, killing six of them on the spot, while he himself was killed by another militant, deputed to guard them. The militants later killed son of Shah Zar who was stated to be a militant as well. Shah Zar was said to be a close relative of Haji Khalil and both hailed from the same village. Haji Khalil was killed after killing two of the Taliban attackers and injuring three others on July 29. |
