DI KHAN:
Tribesmen held a protest, on Saturday, against the killing of Taliban commander of his own faction in a US drone attack more than a week ago, in Shakai tehsil, west of Wana.
They gathered in Shakai Bazaar in large numbers and condemned the killing of Mullah Nazir, terming it a terrorist act by the US.
Drone attacks were a violation of the territorial integrity of Pakistan and the government should take concrete steps to stop drone strikes in Federally Administrated Tribal Areas, especially North and South Waziristan, stated a tribal elder, Dr Mamtaz.
Shakai Bazaar remained closed during the protest and people from the others areas of Shakai Tehsil came and participated in the protest.
Spokesperson for Shakai Taliban Commander Tehsil Khan of the Mullah Nazir Group, Sabar Khan said in a statement, “We will support the newly-appointed Taliban Commander Bahawal Khan, known among militants as Salahudin Ayubi. We will continue Mullah Nazir’s mission and take revenge for his murder.”
