Seven killed in PakistanÂ’s restive tribal belt
2006-04-04
What part of Pakistan is not in the 'restive tribal belt'?
The Al-Q training camp run by the ISI in Rawalpindi, of course.
MIRANSHAH, Pakistan - Five people were killed in a landmine blast and two pro-Taleban militants died in a clash with security forces in PakistanÂ’s restive tribal region on Monday, officials said. The incidents occurred in the North Wazoo Waziristan tribal region, where around 200 tribesmen were killed in clashes with security forces last month. They were answering a call to arms by militant Muslim clerics following a special forces assault on an Al Qaeda camp.
"Come to prayer! Come to armed prayer! Come to fight infidels in armed prayer!"
The landmine victims were travelling in a vehicle in Dattakhel area near North Waziristan’s main town of Miranshah when it struck a landmine. “Five people were killed on the spot, while the sixth is in critical condition,” said an intelligence official.

In the second incident, two pro-Taleban terrorists militants were killed after militants attacked a paramilitary patrol in the town of Mir Ali. The terrorists militants had hurled hand grenades on the troops, wounding three of them, another intelligence official said.
Troops shot back, did they?
The incidents took place a day after one soldier was killed and 10 people wounded in clashes in the region, which is heavily infested with roaches Al Qaeda and rats Taleban terrorists fighters and their local rubes fools stooges syncophants sympathisers.

#6  Is there something opposite of Pakistan's "restive tribal belt?" Like a calm, serene, and peaceful spot of pure bliss?

#5  That "restive tribal belt" needs greasing. I suggest tactical nukes from 40,000 feet. That should be enough grease to remove the "restive" for a looooonnng time - not to mention the "tribal belt" itself.
