A spokesman for the NWFP Governor's Federally Administered Tribal Areas Secretariat denied on Thursday that local Taliban had been allowed to open offices in Wana to enforce Islamic law in South Waziristan. "No office has been opened or is in the process of opening in Wana under the auspices of seminary students or so-called Taliban," he said. "Some newspapers in their reports and editorial comments have painted a very grim picture of the situation in South Waziristan," the spokesman said. "This is completely baseless."| "Nope. Nope. Never happened. Nope." Then his lips fell off. |
