Tribesmen up in arms over guns ban
So to speak...Hundreds of tribesmen protested against the ban on displaying arms in Mir Ali Bazaar in North Waziristan on Monday. The protestors, belonging to Abba Khel, Hasan Khel, Shahmirman and Toori Khel tribes of Spin Wam, carried weapons in violation of the ban and marched through Mir Ali Bazaar. They danced and fired their Kalashinkovs in the air. Most of the protestors were carrying light machine guns. The protestors blocked the Bannu-Miranshah Road but later departed peacefully.
