Kurram has been in the grip of violence for a very long time now. In addition to enmities between local warring tribes, Kurram has also frequently come under attack from external elements.
In February this year, the security forces arrested 11 militants involved in an attack on a relief convoy in the Ochit area.
Parachinar had also been through intense blockades and lockdowns due to persistent violent incidents.
