Three freed, arms returned to seminary
2006-09-28
MIRANSHAH: The political administration of North Waziristan released three tribesmen on Wednesday suspected of fighting American forces in Afghanistan. Noor Hassan, Labeer Khan and Mohammad Yousaf were arrested in Kurram Agency at the Pak-Afghan border on September 19. AP, citing intelligence sources, reported that they were suspected of attacking a US base in Afghanistan's Khost province, but were released for lack of evidence under the peace deal between the government and North Waziristan tribes signed on September 5.

Also on Wednesday, the Pakistan Army returned weapons it seized from a seminary in North Waziristan one and a half years ago, also as part of the peace deal. The army raided the Munb-e-Uloom in the Danday Darpakhel area, one kilometre north of agency headquarters Mirnanshah, in 2005, seizing an arms cache including Klashnikovs.

#2  What's a seminary without a proper arms room full of well oiled Kalashnikovs?

#1  Previously, the most famous armed seminarian was the late great Josef Vissarionovitch. These guys might just top him if they get the nukes...
