2006-01-10
The Khasokhel tribe of North Waziristan Agency has agreed to hand over 10 tribesmen to the government as a guarantee for holding negotiations with the latter after Eidul Azha to identify and hand over the men responsible for attacking a paramilitary checkpoint on Saturday, tribal sources told Daily Times from Miranshah on Sunday. Both sides agreed to keep 10 tribesmen in the political administration’s custody under the collective responsibility clause of the Frontier Crime Regulations (FCR) till a final jirga (council) met on the fifth day of Eid. It was also decided Kashokhel tribe and Utmankhel tribe elders would participate in the jirga, as the paramilitary checkpoint was attacked in their area. Eight Frontier Corps (FC) personnel were killed in the attack.
