35 tribesmen released in Waziristan
Thirty-five tribesmen held hostage by rival clans in North Waziristan were released on Sunday after a negotiation breakthrough, a private television channel reported. According to the report, the Dawar tribe had taken hostage three members of the Bakakhle tribe, who had seized 32 Dawar members, following the murder of a tribesman. Local tribal chieftains and Ulema negotiated between the two clans, leading to the release of all detained members.Posted by: Fred 2007-01-29 |
