Army Recovers Body of Bugti |
2006-09-01 |
The body of a Pakistani rebel leader whose killing by the military triggered violent protests has been dug out from a collapsed cave and his funeral will take place today, a senior official said late yesterday. The body of Nawab Akbar Bugti, a respected tribal chieftain from energy-rich Balochistan province, was badly decomposed after his death at the weekend, military spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan said. “The body is in an advanced stage of decay as it had been badly crushed under a big boulder,” he said. Army engineers clearing debris at the collapsed cave sighted the body of ethnic Baloch nationalist Nawab Akbar Bugti on Wednesday. The octogenarian rebel Baloch leader, who had been involved in a long-running confrontation with the central government, was killed when the cave crashed in as security forces besieging it tried to arrest him on Saturday. |

#8 I wonder if they'll dim the lights on the Peshawar strip for 60 seconds... That happens automatically during periods of peak demand. |

#4 I dunno. I have mixed feelings about Foster's tragic demise. I'd much rather Pakistan had dropped a boulder on Hafez Saeed and a really big boulder on Qazi & Fazl. And perhaps a couple of "stray" boulders on ISI HQ. Hail and farewell, Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti. You died a warrior to the end. |

#3 Squashed like a damned bug. Squeegees didn't help either as most of the wet work had already been absorbed by the sand. What a great pity! |
