According to Dawn, at least 25 persons were killed and as many injured in gun-battles between followers of two religious groups at Bara in the North West Frontier Province. The clashes at Sur Dand area in Khyber Agency commenced on March 27 when supporters of cleric Mufti Munir Shakir laid siege to the house of a staunch follower of rival cleric Pir Saifur Rehman. Mufti Shakir and Pir Rehman reportedly ran illegal FM radio channels and the clerics, who used abusive language against each other in sermons on their channels, had left the tribal region some time ago under Government pressure. Officials claimed the two were orchestrating violence to force the administration into allowing their return to the region. BBC reported that the clash was about territorial control and enforcing the conflicting Muslim beliefs of the two rival clerics. Unnamed officials said the clash started when workers of Lashkar-i-Islam, formed by Shakir’s supporters, asked inmates of the house of Bacha Jee, follower of Rehman, to surrender, which they refused. In the ensuing gun-battle, which lasted eight hours, seven Lashkar men were killed and 25 others injured. The administration with the help of a Jirga (tribal council) was able to enforce a truce. However, officials said, the Lashkar activists violated the agreement on March 28 and made a pre-dawn attack on the house. Sources added that Lashkar activists captured and killed 18 men and also took an unspecified number of women and children hostage. The house was set ablaze and subsequently demolished.
