| Tribal leaders in Pakistan’s South Waziristan province have handed over to the authorities five more people accused of providing shelter to al-Qaeda and Taleban. This brings the number of such tribesmen handed over to the government to 20 in the last four days. The government has been seeking 41 such suspects. The tribal leaders are cooperating with the government after an agreement, which stops the military from taking any action against them. Last week the Pakistan Army conducted an operation to capture what it described as foreign terrorists hiding foreign terrorists near Wana, the main town in South Waziristan. However, they failed to find any. |
