PESHAWAR: Two suicide bombers dressed in burqas struck a crowd of displaced people collecting aid handouts, killing at least 42 and wounding more than 50 on Saturday at a camp in northwest Pakistan.

The bombers struck minutes apart in the Kacha Pukha camp on the outskirts of the garrison city of Kohat, a registration centre for people fleeing Taliban violence and Pakistani army operations close to the Afghan border.

Local police chief Dilawar Khan Bangash said the bombers walked into the crowd wearing burqas, the loose fitting head-to-toe outfit that obscures the face and worn by conservative Muslim women in parts of northwest Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Body parts of the bombers were recovered and most of the victims were members of the Mani Khel and Baramad Khel tribes who had gathered for registration after fleeing fighting in their home district of Orakzai, he said.

“The two tribes raised a lashkar (tribal militia) to fight Taliban in Orakzai,” he said adding that security forces suffered no casualties.

Bangash said the first bomber detonated his explosives while displaced people gathered to register and receive relief items. A few minutes later the second bomber blew himself up in the middle of the gathering crowd.

Pakistan's latest military offensive and ongoing extremist violence have displaced at least 210,000 people from the tribal districts of Orakzai and Kurram, most of whom have registered in Kohat and Hangu towns.

Last year, a total of 3.1 million people were displaced from their homes in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province and the semi-autonomous Federally Administered Tribal Areas along the Afghan border.

Nearly two million people have returned home, but uncertainty continues in the wake of ongoing clashes between troops and the Taliban.

RIP to the dead.

The archiac Frontier Crimes Regulations which sanction collective punishment on the tribes along with the usual taliban barbarism is to be blamed for this tragedy.
Repealing it would be the first step in dispensing with the mindset which condones collective punishment in the tribal areas.

Justice Denied

The British devised the FCR as an instrument of subjugation. It was meant to discipline the Pakhtoon population and to establish the writ of the colonial authority. In drafting the regulation, the British relied upon some customs and traditions prevailing in the tribal belt, but these traditions were distorted to suit the government's plan of securing convictions at will.

Consequently, the law contains no concept of an independent, impartial judicial authority or a court of law to dispense free and fair justice. This is contrary to the mandate of the Constitution, and a vital safeguard is consequently altogether missing from the FCR.
