PAK: Two Waziristan tribes sign pact with US forces
2003-06-29
WANA: Two tribes of the South Waziristan Agency on Sunday signed a peace agreement with the American allied forces to hunt down Al-Qaeda elements in the area. Malik Gula, Metta Khan, Muhammad Amin and Muhammad Nawaz represented the Utmanzai Wazir and Ahmadzai Wazir tribes in their agreement with a US Commander. Under the agreement, the tribes are responsible for maintaining peace and order in the border areas of Birmal, while the US troops and the forces of the Northern Alliance will withdraw from the area.
Had me a little confused on this one. Birmal's on the Afghan side of the border. They're contracting with the local armed rustics to chase the Bad Guys out. I doubt if it'll work, but you never know...
