I think i had to jump in
Ok guys
There is secterian violence to some extend as RR said but what exactly is the sitution we need to understand the culture there.
Parachinar is no doubt dominated by Shias and Sunnis are in minority there.
The two community mostly live in harmony the problem starts when some outside force and hidden hands ignite an incident that is followed by violence indeed getting a secterian color no doubt.
NOw what exactly is puting fuel to fire is not Only the Secterian factor
Its rather an Intra-Tribal clash
There are mainly two Tirbes
1. Turi (Toori) Tribe
they are Sunnis
2. Bangash Tribe
they are Shias.
Now its more of a clash between tribes both are pashto speaking the Shias are with Pashto accent that of Afghanistan or to resemble with that of Pashto spoken in Balochistan.
While Tooris though too have some flavour of the same accent but mainly its more close to that spoken in most of the tribal agencies of NWFP but slightly different.
Now if you had closley followed such intra-tribal clashes are always harsh even if the tribes are from same sect. that is the intensity of tribal rivalries.
