Shah Hassan Khel is a village to the south of Lakki Marwat, in the Lakki Marwat District, on the Lakki Marwat Road between Lakki Marwat and Shahbaz Azmat Khel. In 2011, it had some 4,000 inhabitants in about 500 households.[1] The village is located between two streams which lead down from a southern tributary of the Tochi River.[2][3] The area to the south is mountainous, known as the Sheikh Badin Range.[2][3] Struggling from insecurity since around 2007, the 2010 Lakki Marwat suicide bombing took place here killing at least 105 people and wounding more than 100 others.
