After its offensives in Swat, South Waziristan and Bajaur, the military has been attacking militants in other areas, including the Orakzai region, where many of the Islamists who fled the earlier offensives are believed to have taken refuge.

The army says more than 300 militants had been killed in fighting in recent weeks in Orakzai and the Kurram region but there has been no independent confirmation of the deaths.

The Press Associated reports:

Two suicide bombers dressed in burqas have killed 41 people and wounded 62 others in an attack on a camp for refugees fleeing military offensives in north-western Pakistan.
The United Nations said it was temporarily suspending its programmes helping displaced people in Kohat and neighbouring Hangu as a result of the bombings.
The blasts occurred at a food distribution point, but there were conflicting reports whether the victims were lining up for food or being registered. The camp in the Kohat region is sometimes used by foreign humanitarian groups, including the World Food Programme, to deliver aid.

The camp was for people who fled from the Orakzai district, where the army has been fighting militants since the end of last year.

A dreaded militant organisation of Punjabi Taliban, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi Al-Alami, has claimed responsibility for the two consecutive suicide attacks in Kohat.

“We claim responsibility for the two Fidayee (suicide) attacks in Kohat. The Shia community was in fact our target that our two Fidayeen (suicide bombers) achieved,” explained a caller, who introduced himself as Usman Haider, a spokesman for the outlawed outfit.
