Less than 24 hours after authorities demolished the house of an accused involved in a deadly attack, another tragic incident unfolded in Lower Kurram.

According to police, armed assailants opened indiscriminate fire on a vehicle in the mountainous area of Shamadarr Baba, targeting passengers heading towards Parachinar. 

The attack left Zahid Hussain dead on the spot, while his two young daughters sustained serious injuries. Both were shifted to the District Headquarters Hospital Parachinar for treatment.

Police said Zahid Hussain was traveling with his daughters to attend a relative’s wedding in Parachinar when their vehicle came under fire.

The incident follows the killing of six people just two days earlier in Ahmad Khan Kaley of Mehwara, where gunmen opened fire on a passenger vehicle. 

A video confession later surfaced on social media, leading the government and tribal elders to demolish the house of the accused, Tajammul, with explosives on Thursday.
