If you have no idea or knowledge about the situation then no one needs to hear your bullsheet on this topic... AI are actually from kukikhiel tribe which are locals of khyber agency...If they have willing put on arms against TTP then how come they are loosers... Next time dig deeper..

Mind your toungue, kid.

And it's your choice to encourage armed groups in your backyard. Dont go crying when they start asserting dominance.



Update:

LANDI KOTAL: The clashes between Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Ansarul Islam (AI) militant groups in Khyber tribal region’s Tirah valley area entered their fourth day as the death toll rose to 58 on Monday.

Six militants were killed during the latest clashes. Those killed during the fighting could not be identified until the filing of this report.

Numerous militants also sustained injuries during the clashes.

Local political sources said both sides resorted to use of heavy and sophisticated weaponry during the fighting.

Fierce clashes had erupted three days ago when members of the Tariq Afridi faction of the banned TTP launched an attack in the Bagh-Maidan area of Tirah valley on Friday, capturing a building belonging to the AI militants.

The Ansaarul Islam militant group had gained some ground against the Pakistani Taliban militants earlier on Sunday.

Dont these guys have anything better to do other than killing each other? Many be they should wake up and think about going to work, dropping kids to school and picking up the daily grocery list!

If we let go of conspiracy theories and start making our judgments on facts, then it’s quite easy to see that their criminal objectives are forcing them into a power struggle. Our failure to see the picture clearly, and to now use their dispute to our advantage, could be seen as failing to capitalize on an opportunity. Our common stance against terrorism, along with our beliefs and values, continues to bind us together despite all the challenges and obstacles that come our way. It is obvious that the pressure from our forces and the ongoing power struggle between their organizations are forcing them to crumble. We hope to see our nations remain united against our common enemies that are clearly showing signs of demise.

PESHAWAR: At least 12 more militants were killed Sunday as intense gun-battles continued between two rival groups in Pakistan’s restive tribal region of Khyber agency, officials said.

Fierce clashes erupted three days ago when members of the Tariq Afridi faction of the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) launched an attack in the Bagh-Maidan area of Tirah valley on Friday, capturing a building belonging to the pro-government Ansarul Islam (AI) militants.

“The Ansar-ul-Islam group re-took their centre after intense fighting,” said another senior local administration official.

The approximate number of deaths from three days of fierce clashes has now reached 52. A senior security official confirmed the approximate death toll and said fighting was ongoing.

The area is cut off to journalists and aid workers so it was not possible to confirm the death toll independently.

The Ansarul Islam, led by local commander Munsif Khan, opposes Mangal Bagh’s Lashkar-i-Islam and the TTP, who frequently launches attacks on Pakistani troops.

Sadat Afridi, a spokesman for the pro-government AI, says his group has vowed to flush out TTP militants from Tirah valley as they “carry out attacks on mosques and public places, which is against Islam.”

Khyber is among Pakistan’s seven semi-autonomous tribal districts near the Afghan border, rife with homegrown insurgents and home to religious extremist organisations including the al Qaeda and Taliban.

The remote Tirah valley holds strategic significance for militant groups. On one side, it shares a border with Afghanistan. On the other it leads to the plains of Bara, which connect the agency to the outskirts of Peshawar.

Khyber also links several agencies to each other, serving as a north-south route within Fata. The region has been long fought over by a mix of militant groups, including the TTP, the Ansarul Islam and Mangal Bagh’s Lashkar-i-Islam.
