BADSHAHKILI, Pakistan (AP) - Supporters of two Islamic religious leaders fought gun battles in northwestern Pakistan, leaving at least 24 people dead and 14 injured, officials and witnesses said Tuesday.
The fighting, which began Monday, continued until early Tuesday between followers of the two whose rivalry flared earlier this year over their competing religious radio stations in Khyber Agency, a tribal region bordering Afghanistan.
Sikander Qayyum, a senior security official in Peshawar for Pakistan's tribal regions, said 24 people were killed and 14 injured.
