WANA

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 302 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WANA , a valley and frontier outpost of Waziristan in the
North
 -West Frontier Province of
India
 . It lies to the west of the Mahsud
country
 , and to the
north
  of the Gomal river, and is inhabited by the Waziri tribe. Lying on the border of Afghanistan, it is conveniently placed for dominating Waziristan on the north and the Gomal Pass on the
south
 , and occupies very much the same strategic position as the
Zhob
  valley holds in
Baluchistan
 . It forms the end of the
chain
  of outposts extending from
Quetta
  to Waziristan, and can be supported either from
India
  by the Gomal Pass or from
Quetta
  by the
Zhob
  valley. In 1894, when the Indo-Afghan boundary commission was delimiting the Waziri border, the Mahsud Waziris, thinking their independence to be threatened, made a night attack on the
camp
  of the commission at Wana. The result was the Waziristan Expedition of the same year, and the occupation of Wana by British troops. On the formation of the North-West Frontier Province in 1901 it was decided to replace the troops by
militia
 , and Wana was handed over to them in 1904. It is now the headquarters of the political agency of Southern Waziristan.
