Tribal Islamic militants, in a show of force on Friday, paraded alleged drug peddlers through a bazaar near the Pak-Afghan border, officials said. 50 hooded and armed vigilantes, who call themselves the Mujahedeen (holy warriors), also smashed videocassettes they confiscated from local shops and demanded an end to vice and adherence to strict Islamic law. The militants told Muslims in Khar to get ready for jihad because Muslims were facing a “critical situation”, said witnesses. They released the eight alleged drug traders with a stern warning.
