Tribal army to fight foreign terrorists
Yeah. Really. That 'zackly what they're gonna do. I believe it. Yup...
WANA, Pakistan: Ahmedzai tribesmen in South Waziristan Agency has announced to form a tribal army within two days to aid the government in battling foreign terrorists and the people providing refuge to them.
They’re gonna fight themselves?
Hundreds of tribesmen held a traditional Jirga, or council meeting, in the town of Wana in South Waziristan, which was also attended by the Political Agent Azam Khan and other officials. Tribal elders assured the administration that there was no place for the foreign terrorists in Waziristan. If they were present in the area they should leave it forthwith.
Thought there weren’t any foreign terrorists in Wazland?
They left. They're now in North Waziristan, East Waziristan, and West Waziristan. There might even be a couple in Central Waziristan and South-Central Waziristan. But there's none in South Waziristan. Nope. Nope. I believe it. Yup. Yup....
The Jirga decided that the tribal elders will form a tribal army to act against the terrorists and the people providing refuge to them.
Maybe the bulldozers got their attention.
The meeting also decided that the political administration will provide a list of suspects involved in rocket attacks on the Army Colony in Wana and the South Waziristan scout camps to tribal elders, which will help the administration in their earlier arrest. Political administration assured tribal elders that the foreign terrorists arrested from the agency would not deported to any other country and tried according to the Pakistani law.
As long as they don’t get released this century, you can hold on to them.
