This unfortunate event follows a similar pattern of violence in the region. Just recently, tribal leader Malik Kaleemullah Dawar, an independent candidate from PK-104, was killed, along with two companions, by unidentified individuals in Tehsil Miranshah of North Waziristan.

Notably, on January 3, the convoy of National Democratic Movement Chairman Mohsin Dawar was also targeted in North Waziristan, fortunately leaving him unharmed. The rising incidents of violence in the area underscore the need for enhanced security measures.
