The dead were identified as Jaffer Mahar, Bux Mahar, the cousin of former chief minister Ali Muhammad Khan Mahar and Muhammad Murad Mahar. The clashes also claimed an eight-year-old boy's life. |

I'm told that once there are free elections throughout the world, democracy will work its magic spell and tribal loyalties will vanish. I can hardly wait for the magic happen. |
