<b>Hangu sectarian violence intensifies further </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->KOHAT: The death toll in the ongoing battle between two rival groups in Hangu city crossed 26 and was still rising on the second consecutive night of fighting on Saturday.
Officials and locals feared the death toll would sharply rise now since the Taliban had also joined the battle and were attacking areas in Hangu bazaar with heavy weapons, despite a curfew and shoot to kill orders.
Six dead bodies of protesters killed on Friday night were brought to Kohat on Saturday evening and buried in Ustarzai Town. One of them could not be identified, since he was a traveler and non local. People buried him along with the other dead.
