Pakistan: North Waziristan witnessing rise in target killings cases

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 12 May 2021, 07:24 pm

Islamabad: Pakistan's North Waziristan region is witnessing a rise in targeted killings in recent days, locals claimed.

The killing of local  Khalil Muhammad is also highlighting a similar episode in the area.

Police told The Express Tribune that Khalil Muhammad, resident of Mirkhon Khel village, was on his way home on his motorcycle when unidentified armed men opened fire at him from a car. He died on the spot.

The police sent the body to Mir Ali Hospital for autopsy.

The attackers, however, escaped the region.

Local residents alleged that the administration of the district has imposed section 144 for one month under which the display of weapons is strictly prohibited but even then an armed robbery took place on Saturday and now a local has been gunned down, reported The Express Tribune.

Local residents told the newspaper that each year dozens of locals are killed in mysterious targeted attacks. Many people are killed inside their homes in daring attacks, causing widespread panic.

“Some people could be killed in personal feuds but neither the locals are so trained that in each single case they manage to escape after carrying out a murder in broad day light. Something else is going on here which needs to be probed by police thoroughly,” said a local resident on the condition of anonymity.
