| Pakistan Army destroys five houses in tribal areas |
| 2002-09-07 |
| The military troops blasted five more houses in the tribal area after failing to find the alleged terrorists at Janikhel village while several other houses were also damaged during the operation. The troops razed the houses to ground by planting explosive materials. The houses were owned by Maulana Shams-ul-Haq, director of a small local religious school and imam at the mosque of the village, Maulana Abdullah, Maulana Sher Ali, Imtiaz Ali and Sadar Hayat. Y'think the Army's about had it with these "holy men"? About three thousand military troops are combing the area to find the alleged Al-Qaeda terrorists who were forcibly released by the villagers from the custody of Frontier Corps. The villagers claim that all the seven arrested persons were local teenagers studying in the madrassa while the troops claim that they were Arabs and were suspected for having links with Al-Qaeda. "Yeah. Just some local boys, studyin' to be holy men at the madrassah... Fonny assent? Whudja mean, 'fonny assent'? Dem boys got no fonny assent. Ever'body 'roun' here talks likka dat. You gotta fonny assent!" |
