KURRAM AGENCY: At least 13 people were killed and 19 others were injured in a tribal clash in the upper Kurram Agency.

According to media reports, a bloody clash has been continuing between Shalozan and Shalozan Tangi tribes for the last two weeks over a water row.

Fresh clashes killed thirteen people and seriously injured nineteen others.

The clash erupted over water distribution as Shalozan Tangi tribe stopped water supply to the Shalozan tribe.

The ongoing dispute has claimed at least 49 lives over the past two weeks, while over 90 have been injured.

Residents have asked the government to end the clashes, and demanded immediate supply of water.

Syed kashif Jafri | 14 years ago | Reply This is not just a water dispute but it is a conspiracy against Khurram agency peace. As you know khurram agancy is the only tribul area which was peaceful and under Govt control. Now anti state elements surronded this area and stop the water supply of this area. Local people are fighting against terriorists on their own without any sort of Govt support. They are trying to defend peace of this region. Govt forces should help the local people in their cause.
Sultan Ahmed. | 14 years ago | Reply As reported to the Express News, which published to the general public, it was on going dispute continued for a week, claimed 50 deaths and 70 injured. I am very afraid having this news, because it was not a remote area which was beyond the control of law enforcement agency. I am sure, they saw,they knew, they overlooked,left the parties unleashed so result before you.
