Foreigners can stay only with tribal guarantee, says Iftikhar
2004-07-05
NWFP Governor Lt General (r) Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah has said the government was ready to allow foreigners living in Wana to stay there provided that the local tribes guarantee foreigners do not indulge in any terrorism activities. He said the foreigners must also register with the authorities. Addressing a tribal jirga in Khyber Agency, the governor said development in the area could only happen if there was stable law and order. The governor told the tribesmen to keep an eye on potential trouble-makers. He said foreign miscreants were responsible for the bloodshed in Wana. The government had offered the foreigners amnesty but they did not accept, he said, adding that the offer was still valid.
