JAMRUD: Sipah tribesmen from Bara tehsil in Khyber Agency on Thursday agreed to hand over ‘wanted’ clan members after hammering out a deal with the political administration.

Elders and maliks from the Sipah and other tribes of Bara met with the political administration in Peshawar on Thursday.  Following the jirga, the elders announced they will not allow terrorists to use their lands and will back the government in the fight against terrorism.

An 80-member ‘peace’ militia will be raised. If a criminal involved in kidnapping or murder should return, they would be fined between Rs1 million and Rs3 million while their houses will also be demolished according to tribal customs.


Further, they pledged that all wanted tribesmen will be handed over by December 25.

Ahsan | 8 years ago | Reply The need for these 'peace' militias to end, the government should pass the 22nd amendment already and merge FATA with kpk. Make a police force and demilitarised the whole province and then the country, the only institutions allowed to carry weapons should be the armed forces and the police. The prime minister needs to take his finger out of behind and get back to this country to solve the national security issues and the underlying causes!
N K Ali | 8 years ago | Reply @Dr. Waqas: You are 100 percent rite. The area of FAT and other tribal areas must be brought into the mainstream and merged with our daily lives. A sense of belonging and nationality will then emerge. Salams
