Ban on heavy weapons in FATA
2004-11-04
NWFP Governor Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah on Wednesday asked all political agents of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) to implement a ban on heavy weapons and confiscate all such weapons.
"Here, you! Gimme that howitzer! Them things's banned, y'know!"
"What'll yez do if I don't wanna turn it over to yez?"
"Ummm... I'll ask somebody else."
Presiding over a meeting on law and order situation, the NWFP governor asked the political authorities to be cautious about the presence of foreign elements in their respective agencies. The political agents briefed the governor about law and order in FATA and the measures being taken to curb smuggling, poppy cultivation, anti-social actors and other issues of the tribal areas.

#3  You know, Janeane Garofalo would look better in a burkha. We should send all our anti-social actors over there.

#1  They want to curb "anti-social actors"? I thought that was just a problem over here?
