I am with my people in my area: Bugti
2006-03-18
"I am certainly not hiding like a little girl. What? Why am I whispering? A little hay fever, is all."
Jamhoori Watan Party Chief Nawab Akbar Bugti has said that he is in his own area and with his own people. He said, in a phone call to BBC office in Islamabad on Friday, that the news about his departure to another country was part of a government campaign to demoralise his people. Nawab Bugti also claimed two vehicles belonging to security forces struck land mines killing atleast four personnel and injuring six. Provincial Spokesman Raziq Bugti said no such incidents were reported.

#2  Doesn't matter. Now that he's called the BBC, his people won't be demoralized by reports that he had fled to another part of the country.

Curious, that his people needed to hear that from the BBC, what with him being with them and all ....

#1  So, reports of Buggi's departure are greatly exagerated. The collect call came from where?
