KURRAM: An armed conflict between two religious groups in Kurram claimed seven more lives on Friday, as officials said efforts to overcome the situation were underway.
The clashes between the two sects, which erupted after a controversial video went viral on social media a few days ago, have so far claimed 15 lives.
Although the contents of the video were strongly condemned by both sides, sporadic violence erupted in the area.
Officials told Dawn that five people were killed in clashes between the two armed groups in the Boshara area, while two others lost their lives in Khar Kalay and Baleech Khel areas, on Friday.
