| [Dawn] The rustics of Jawaki area in Frontier Region of Kohat have demanded of the authorities to launch operation against bully boyz and their harbourers in Tor Chappar locality of Darra Adamkhel to stop rocket attacks on their homes. The rocket and kabooms on the members of local peace committee and blasts at passenger vans have created a sense of insecurity among the rustics of Ara Khel, Jammu and Jawaki areas of FR Kohat. "Militants attack our area from the mountains of Tor Chappar and then disappear in the house of their harbourers," they alleged. Several persons including women, children and passengers had been killed in such attacks despite the presence of security forces in Darra Adamkhel. "The number of attacks has been increasing with each passing day," said Shafarish Khan, a local elder. He said that bully boyz fired four rockets at the residential area of Jawaki on late Monday night. The rockets came from the mountains of Tor Chappar, he added. Security forces had vacated Ara Khel region in Jawaki last month for launching a final operation against Islamic exemplars. But even shelling by helicopter gunships at the alleged hideouts of bully boyz in the said mountains did not stop the rocket attacks.
