“Officials believe that Shakai is one of the possible hideouts of foreign militants in the region near the border with Afghanistan. Officials and eyewitnesses said that paramilitary forces and militants exchanged fire on the outskirts of Shakai, Jonikhel and Sanga areas.”

Shakai:   (Actually, Shakki Khassadar Post.) In the center of the map below, locate Wana. Just NW of there, locate the map designation "OPP 249". The town of Shaki is the small undesignated circle about "half an inch" north of the letter "O". Shakai Valley extends NW of the town into the mountains.

Sanga:   Sanga is the undesignated circle approximately "half an inch" West of Shakai.

Jonikhel:   The suffix, "khel" is actually a word that roughly translates to "tribe". While there is not Joni khel, there is a Jani khel. However, it is located a considerable distance from Shakai and Sanga. On the map below, look for the town of Gurbaz, in top dead center of the map. That is the approximate location of the the town and tribe of Jani Khel is located.
