Interested in what groups they belonged to.
The operations in Kurram are notorious in their goals, selectively targeting militants favoring one group over another, to the point of giving cover to Afghan Taliban such as Haqqani 'sahib', much to the distress of the local village militias who are targeted by these tribal and foreign terrorists.
May the terrorists reside in hell for ever and ever.
May the soul of innocents rest in peace.
