| Waziri Lashkar proves they’re serious |
| 2004-05-20 |
| EFL Commander of the lashkar, Allagai Wazir told tribesmen anyone found giving shelter to foreign militants would face demolition of his house, fine of Rs1 million and banishment from the tribal territory. Later, the lashkar torched down the house of a local tribesman, Sher Khan Tojikhel, who had attempted to stop drummers from beating the drums, while accompanying the lashkar as per tribal custom. "He has interfered with the tribal lashkar and therefore is liable to face punishment," he announced. The armed volunteers attacked the house and burnt it down. There was no one inside the house and no resistance was offered, witnesses said. The tribal lashkar will proceed to Shakai, about 17km to the west of Wana on Thursday to look for foreign militants. |

| #1 Sher Khan Tojikhel, who had attempted to stop drummers from beating the drums, while accompanying the lashkar as per tribal custom. Great. I'd be more impressed if they'd burnt down Nek's house instead. |
