KOHAT, July 12: Seventeen Frontier Constabulary personnel were killed on Saturday after militants ambushed an FC convoy in Hangu district. Several soldiers were injured in the attack.Officials said the convoy was ambushed by the Taliban while it was on its way to Doaba from Fort Zargari.During the 40-minute-long encounter, one local militant ‘commander’, Razeem, was killed and two of his colleagues were injured.No reinforcements were sent to help the convoy ward off the attack, which took place in an area where two security vehicles were attacked just a few hours before the deadly ambush.Helicopter gunships pounded surrounding hills where militants were believed to be hiding.Mullah Sanaullah, a militant ‘commander’, sent a message to the administration after the ambush that his forces would attack security officials if they came to collect the bodies lying in vehicles.The administration sent a two-member delegation, comprising MNA Pir Haider Ali Shah and Hangu district nazim Khan Afzal, to go to a seminary in the Kahi village and constitute a jirga of clerics for talks with militants on retrieving the bodies and the injured. The jirga is expected to come back in case talks are successful .Noorzad, a local, told Dawn that the bodies, including that of the convoy’s commanding officer, were lying inside the vehicles. Three of the soldiers had been slaughtered by Taliban before they left the area, he claimed.

Phirst oph all congratulations to the Talibunnies, that is 17 less scumbags that the Indian Army would have to deal with later, anyway, my current pooch is related to the bolded part ie " The jirga is expected to come back in case talks are successful". bhat happens if the talks are unsuccessful , which is highly plausible going by past evidence. will the jirga not come back?
Bliss to enlighten
