Gunmen murder tribal leader in FATA

Inna lillahi wa inna elahi rajioon.

The government must send in more soldiers with heavier weapons to stop further incidents like this occuring.

What kind of monster would deliberarately pick out a particular unarmed individual in a market place and deliberately kill him? The type of monster which the Pakistan Army must defend its people from!

Suspected militants on Sunday assassinated a pro-government tribal elder in northwestern Pakistan’s tribal region, North Waziristan, a witness said.

Malik Takhti Khan was gunned down by two face-covered gunmen while he was buying items in a weekly bazaar in Mir Ali, a major town in North Waziristan, the witness who declined to be named said.

The victim died on the spot and the assailants fled after the attack.

Malik became a target of the militants’ attack for his help with the government in its campaign against the militants, according to local sources.

More than 100 pro-government tribal elders have been killed in the northwestern Pakistan’s tribal region, Waziristan, over the past several months.

This Pashtun v Pashtun violence is rather unfortunate.
