The shrine also attracts Indo-Muslim mystics called faqir, religious mendicants who observe lives of poverty, chastity, meditation and prayer. |
A stronghold of Taliban led by Maulvi Faqir Mohammad, Bajaur initially proved a tough challenge. |
Mr Faqir grabbed his daughter in a headlock and repeatedly stabbed her in the head and stomach. |
Al Arabiya reported that unaired portions of the footage show Shahzad with Faqir Mohammed, the Taliban leader in Pakistan's region of Bajaur. |
Faqir was turned over to Mr. Agha, Mr. Mashal said. |
The most characteristic garment of the faqir is known as the dilaq, which is a patchwork, particoloured cloak. |
