4 more tribals handed over, 2 houses demolished in Waziristan
Two more houses of wanted men were demolished in South Waziristan Agency and four tribesmen accused of sheltering Al Qaeda and Taliban militants were handed over to the political administration. The tribal lashkar set explosives to the houses of Ghulam Jan and Dawar Khan in the Addakhel and Shalam areas. The houses were bulldozed later. Rehmatullah Wazir, deputy administrator of Wana told Daily Times on the phone that the four men handed over to the authorities were Noor Karim, Muhammad Rasool, Noor Mohammad from a Shudiakhai sub-tribe and Khattay from a Sperkai sub-tribe. Tribesmen have so far handed over 28 wanted men out of a list of 57 to the political administration. Meanwhile, the Wana administration arrested four tribesmen after shots were fired from a taxi in Wana bazaar. The authorities raided various houses after rumours that Naik Muhammad, ranked top on the administrationâs list, was hiding in the area. Mr Wazir denied that there was any truth in such rumours.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-01-24 |
