Govt's enemies are our enemies: Halimzai jirga |
2006-06-27 |
GHALANAI: A Halimzai tribe jirga of Mohmand Agency decided on Monday that the families of "miscreants" who damage government property and are killed would not be compensated, and would have to pay fines of up to Rs 100,000 to the tribe. Any militant who is injured while attacking government property will be expelled from Mohmand Agency, the jirga decided. The Halimzai tribe will cooperate with the government and support the decisions it makes against the accused. The jirga elders said "miscreants" damaging government property would be the enemy of the entire tribe and the tribe would take action against him. Elders of the Halimzai sub tribes signed an agreement to this effect. Unidentified militants damaged an electricity tower and poles in the agency a few days ago. |
