95 die as Kurram reels under fresh violence

Sources said at least 70 tribesmen and more than 129 Taliban were wounded in the fresh fighting between the rival tribes.

Injured have been shifted to hospitals of Kotal, Hangu, Sadda and Parachinar.

On the other hand, residents of the area are facing shortage of food items and medicine due to closure of main highway.

Meanwhile, Member National Assembly (MNA) from Kurram Agency, Sajid Hussain Turi has said that some external forces were behind the current clashes in the Agency and urged elders of other tribal agencies to come forward and play their role in maintaining peace in the area.

"The armed clashes in Kurram Agency are not sectarian but some hidden external hands are involved in the conflict," Sajid said this while talking to APP here Sunday.
