Threat from Deobandi takfiri ASWJ forces admin to call in Army in Hangu

The Hangu administration has decided to deploy army troops in Hangu and put them on standby in Kohat from 7th to 10th of Muharram to ensure peace and security in the two cities due to threat from proscribed ASWJ and its sister-wing Lashkar-e-Jhangvi that are Wahhabis-allied Deobandi takfiri terrorists outfits banned by State authorities but no action against their ringleaders have been taken so far.

It was officially announced on Wednesday that Kohat division administration had decided to keep the Kohat-Hangu road up to Kurram Agency closed from 6th to 10th of Muharram for the safety of the transport and Muharram processions on the roads and other routes of the two cities.
Meanwhile, a jirga of Shia and Sunni elders of Hangu and Kohat agreed to observe peace and harmony during Muharram. The commissioner said that the government was determined to maintain peace during Muharram. The Kohat administration has declared five imambargahs and eleven mosques as the ‘most sensitive’.
District police officer, Kohat, Sohaib Ashraf said in a statement that six control rooms and one command post had been established while army would remain on standby.
A meeting of the liaison committee was also held at Ustarzai police station, Kohat, where it was announced that army would be deployed for the security of 43 imambargahs on Hangu road in Kohat.
