Perv to Bad Guyz: Surrender or die!
A meeting chaired by President General Pervez Musharraf on Friday decided to take stern action against those harbouring foreign elements in the tribal areas, our correspondent reported. âPakistan will not compromise on the fight against terrorism and foreign elements hiding in the tribal areas have no place. If they do not surrender, they will be eliminated,â an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) press release quoted him as saying. The meeting was attended among others by NWFP Governor Lt Gen (r) Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah, Vice Chief of Army Staff General Muhammad Yousaf Khan, Peshawar Corps Commander Lt General Syed Safdar Hussain and senior officials. âPresident Musharraf was briefed on the current situation,â ISPR Director General Major General Shaukat Sultan said, without disclosing details of the meeting. However, he said the decision to take military action against foreign militants would be taken by the NWFP governor. The press release said that the meeting was informed about the on-going political process. âThey were told that the tribal people were law-abiding, peace-loving and loyal Pakistanis and the president hoped that the political process would bring about positive results,â it said.
