Ansarul Islam plans office, FM radio station in Bara
2006-08-23
PESHAWAR: Ansarul Islam, a Tirah-based organisation in Khyber Agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), has decided to set up an office in Bara, tehsil headquarters of the agency, and install an FM radio station to counter what it calls the "propaganda" of the Lashkar-e-Islami.

A decision to this effect was made at a meeting of tribal elders who support the organisation at Arjali Nadi on Tuesday. Khalifa Majeed Malaang Afridi was appointed ameer of the organisation's Bara office. Ansarul Islam and Lashkar-e-Islami have been fighting for the last two months and their rivalry has claimed at least 24 lives so far. The government has reportedly asked Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly, to play a role to settle the dispute.

#1  We should encourage them into greater fratricide. Nothing better than force multipliers like this.

Pop corn anybody?
Gummy bears?
