Mulla Conductor’s Deobandi takfiri LI kills 3 dissidents in Zakha Khel

Three Deobandi volunteers of a pro-government armed group were killed and five others injured in a bomb blast in a remote locality of Bazaar Zakhakhel situated in the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) of Pakistan.

Claiming responsibility for the attack, a spokesman for the banned Deobandi takfiri Lashkar-i-Islam organisation told reporters by phone that the LI men had detonated an explosive device at a bunker of the pro-government Tauheed ul Islam group in Nari Baba area. A similar attack three days ago had also left three Tauheed ul Islam men dead.

The Deobandi takfiri Lashkar-i-Islam is at loggerheads with the Zakhakhel dominated Tauheed ul Islam group since it parted ways with the LI four years back and announced its support for a military operation against the banned takfiri outfits of the fellow Deobandis.

Mangal Bagh, a bus conductor, heads the Deobandi takfiri LI and he is known as Mulla Conductor.

Meanwhile, security forces ordered residents of Alam Gudar area of Bara to immediately vacate their houses.

Although most residents of the area fled their houses after the launch of Operation Khyber-I in October last year, a small number had stayed back to guard their property against militants and thieves as robberies in houses had increased after families left their homes in various localities.
