2 tribal elders busted in Waziristan
Tribesmen in the South Waziristan region of Pakistan have handed over two tribal elders wanted by authorities. Dawar Khan and Eda Khan were among seven locals suspected of sheltering al-Qaeda militants. The handover took place in the town of Wana, at a meeting between government officials and men belonging to the Ahmedzai Wazir tribe. The two men had survived a fierce offensive last month by Pakistani troops hunting for suspected militants.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-07-02 |
