Bajaur massacre

The Bajaur massacre or Battle of Bajaur was a military conflict waged by Babur against the Gabari Swati tribe inhabiting the Bajaur region, on 6–7 January 1519. Babur, a Timurid ruler from Fergana who captured Kabul in 1504, launched this assault with the purpose of solidifying his authority in the Kabulistan. It took place in Bajaur, located in present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan on the border with Afghanistan. After capturing the Fort of Bajaur, Babur massacred at least 3,000 Bajauris, and set up a tower of their skulls, charging them of being "false to Islam."
