Haider Khel is a village in North Waziristan, Pakistan, 50 kilometres (30 miles) to the east of Bannu, lying close to the border with Afghanistan.[2] Its inhabitants are mainly Pashtun-speaking Dawaris[3][4]

History

[edit]

Haider Khel was founded in 1910, by Haji Mirzali Khan.[citation needed]

In 1896, during the Tochi Expedition, the British set up a military post in the village as part of its defences against raids from the Waziris.[5]
