100 hard boyz in Wana
The influx of foreign militants into Wana is continuing from neighbouring countries, making it difficult for Pakistani security forces to combat terrorism, says Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Sherpao.
| Does that mean they're being chased out of Afghanistan? |
Talking to Dawn on Tuesday, the minister said that intelligence reports suggested that about 100 wanted terrorists were still present in Wana. "In addition to these terrorists, more are still coming in from neighbouring countries," the minister said. He talked about the involvement of a foreign hand in providing financial assistance to terrorists and foreign militants seeking refuge in Pakistan-Afghanistan border areas.
| Who's the "foreign hand"? The Samoans aren't acting up again, are they? Gotta keep an eye on them, y'know... |
Referring to the whereabouts of Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, the interior minister said: "I believe Osama is not in Pakistan. He must be somewhere in Afghanistan.
| "We asked around here, and nobody's seen him. Recently." |
