A military Cobra helicopter coming from Waziristan to Kohat crash landed here in Jarma area on Sunday owing to some technical fault.




Officials said that the crew remained safe. The crash landing was result of some technical fault for which investigations had been ordered, they added. The helicopter was on a routine flight. Senior military officers and police reached the scene and removed the helicopter to the airbase with the help of heavy machinery.



Meanwhile, local tribesmen have found four beheaded bodies, three of them identified as Taliban commanders, believed to have been killed last week during clashes with security forces in Bezote village of Orakzai Agency.



Officials and tribal sources confirmed that local tribesmen in Bezote found the headless bodies of commanders Ehsanullah, Awal Noor and Said Mohammad. The fourth body could not be identified. The tribesmen buried all the four bodies in the local graveyard.



Sources said that Taliban always took away the heads of their killed companions or blew them up by placing hand grenades in their mouths to hide their identity when they had no time to bury them.
