PESHAWAR: Alikhel tribes on Saturday accused Mamozia tribes of carrying out suicide attack on the jirga which killed at least 170 people and injured several others in Orakzai Agency.

Mamozai tribes have started to flee from the area to avoid any possible action from the Alikhel tribes.

According to sources, hundreds of families of Mamozia tribes are leaving the area due to tense situation and to avoid the suspected strike from Alikhel tribes. They are seeking shelter in Kohat, Jurmah, Hangu and other parts.

About 170 people were killed and more than 200 wounded when a suicide bomber drove his explosives-laden vehicle into an anti-Taliban jirga of Alikhel tribes on October 12, 2008.
