KOHAT, July 4: The police conducted raids in various localities on Thursday and recovered the remains of the Al Qaeda men killed in an encounter with the security agencies on Wednesday.

Fingers, hair, and parts of the brain of the Al Qaeda men were recovered from Jangle Khel, KDA and Jarma localities. These pieces of bodies were taken away by the sympathizers of Al Qaeda from the scene of encounter.

The raids were ordered after the intelligence agencies got wind of the plan of the local Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal’s leaders to bury the remains after offering Namaz-i-Janaza.

Besides, the police arrested two leaders of a local religious group who wanted to organize a gathering at the scene of the encounter to offer prayers for the Al Qaeda men.

The police, however, freed them after their supporters warned the administration that they would attack the police post where the two were being kept in a lock-up.
