Hunt for kidnapper starts in Waziristan
2005-01-10
On instruction from Brig (r) Mehmood Shah, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas security chief, Shabikhel Mehsud tribesmen started hunting for notorious kidnapper Arsal Bhitani in Simly, Bobar, Qaghnay and adjacent areas in South Waziristan Agency on Sunday. Arshad Naveed, the Ladah political agent, is supervising the operation. Malik Kabil Khan, the hunting party commander, said the wanted tribesman would be given to the government after his apprehension. Meanwhile, Mr Naveed said there would be no clemency for the wanted kidnapper.

So you disown this little gem? The last comment in the thread? Perhaps you're more in need of tumeric than I am!

#2  You're on a roll today, .com, and its only 6:31 a.m. EST. I almost dread what I'll see when I turn on the computer again later today. ;-)

(And thanks for your description of poor Mr. Wife's election dilemma -- after I stopped laughing I was much calmer... and I haven't snapped at Frank since. Which no doubt is a good thing.)

#1  But, in a separate interview, DailyTimes has learned that the deal struck by Shah with the Mehsud Tribe is an open-ended Cost Plus contract with a very generous per diem. There are no deliverables, per se, as no guarantee of capture could be given. But this reporter was assured that the fact that Bhitani had dissed the Mehsud last year in a BBC interview would have a "positive effect" upon the Tribe's determination to bring him in. He also said they would take turns marching Naveed up and down the valleys and steep mountain trails, endlessly, since he was known to be a snotty wanker from the city.
