Summary

The Hadda Mullah stirred up jihad amongst the Mohmand tribes which resulted in an attack on the fort at Shabkadr. This was beaten off but further unrest resulted in the formation of an expeditionary force under General Elles. A series of punitive operations led to the eventual submission of the tribes.
