PESHAWAR, Aug 25: Political authorities on Thursday demolished a hideout owned by a tribesman in Raghzai Killi of the North Waziristan Agency, on the charges of harbouring.

Inter Services Public Relations said in a press release here that a tribesman Maulvi Asal Jan had rented out his compound to five Kazakhs, which was used for terrorist activities in the area.

It said that during the operation five Kazakh nationals were arrested who admitted that the compound was used as a hideout. Tribal volunteers demolished the hideout in presence of the political authorities. The action was taken under collective territorial responsibility of the Frontier Crimes Regulation.
