In fact very unfortunate incident.The area of Tangir is safe haven for terrorists.There is need of Swat like operation in this area.There are reports that a large number of terrorists from Swat and North Waziristan came to Tangir area, as a result several passengers lost their lives while travelling via KKH.
Alarming Situation for the GB law enforcement agencies.
