By Ghaulam Farooq
MINGORA: A volunteer of Buner Qaumi Lashkar was killed and another sustained critical injuries when Taliban opened fire in Gokand area of the district on Monday, sources said.
The dead was identified as Muhammad Wasim and the injured as Zarar Khan, they said
Residents from various villages and tehsils formed the lashkar to confront around 100 Taliban who had entered Buner from Swat on Sunday. The Taliban said they would stay in Buner until their chief had had talks with the local chapter of the Tehreek Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM).
The lashkar leaders said they were not against the implementation of sharia in the district like other areas of Malakand division, but added that they were “not ready to allow any armed group to stay in the district”. Local residents said they were in favour of an agreement between the TNSM chief and the government but vowed they would not allow the army and the Taliban in the district.
