Militant commander arrested in Swat
[Dawn] Police claimed to have tossed in the slammer an important turban commander in Chapial area of Swat
...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat...
on Monday.

Officials said that police conducted a raid in the area after they were tipped off
"Mahmoud the Weasel here. Have I got news for you!"
that key turban commander Bacha Zada was present in Lail Banr village of Chaprial.

"Police cordoned off the area and tossed in the slammer the man, who was wanted by law enforcers in various cases of violence in the area," they said.
Violence is forbidden in Pakistan? How can that be?
Police said Bacha Zada was wanted by local administration in killing of Samiullah, head of anti-Taliban lashkar, and 14 other people in Swat.

The tossed in the slammer turban was shifted to Qazi's guesthouse an undisclosed location for interrogation.
is this a tea and biscuits interrogation or mustache wax and Number 7 truncheons? One needs to know whether to wear an adorable little hat or a mustache, you see.
In Kohat, a policeman was injured on Monday in exchange of fire with the armed members of banned Muhammadzai Movement.
Blasphemy! They dared fire upon the Prophet's men? Lynch 'em all!
The officials of Cantt police said that they were patrolling the area as per routine when the armed members of the banned group came face to face with them.

An official said that the movement had been banned but a criminal group was running it to keep police away from the area and continue its illegal activities.

The Cantt police started the paperwork but haven't done much else against the chief of the movement, Gulzar Khan. However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
he managed to escape after the incident.

The office of the district police officer confirmed that registration of the movement was canceled after a ban was imposed on it last year but a group of criminals was running illegal businesses of drugs, gambling and extortion under its umbrella.

The Muhammadzai Movement was banned when it started parallel policing in the area bordering Orakzai Agency
... crawling with holy men, home to Darra Adam Khel, the world's largest illegal arms bazaar. 14 distinct tribes of beturbanned primitives inhabit Orakzai agency's 1500 or so square kilometers...
and took about six coppers hostages. Police had asked the members of the movement to surrender all illegal weapons and leave the security of the area to the administrations of Kohat district and Orakzai Agency.

Meanwhile,
...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter awoke groggily, his hand still stuck in the Ming vase...
the residents of Muhammadzai have appealed to the chief minister and the commissioner Kohat division to resolve the land dispute between them and the Bezote rustics of Orakzai Agency.
