| Probe ordered into sale of blood to militants |
| 2007-11-10 |
| The Interior Ministry has ordered the NWFP home Department to probe and then submit a report about the matter of illegal sale of blood to militants from the blood banks of three allied hospitals in the provincial capital. The ministry in a letter to the provincial Home Department sternly directed it to take action against people involved in selling blood at high prices to militants illegally. The department was instructed to lodge a FIR in case anyone was found guilty. The ministry also directed the department to watch the hospitals closely while they were providing treatment to militants. Earlier, the government had imposed a ban on providing treatment to militants in allied hospitals of Peshawar including Lady Reading Hospital, Khyber Teaching Hospital and Hayatabad Medical Complex. |

| #4 I'm confused - is it illegal because they are selling it to militants or because the price was too high. I mean, it is good quality blood donated by fine upstanding Israli citizens so it would be worth the price... |

| #3 A First Information Report or FIR is a written document prepared by the police in India and Pakistan when they receive information about the commission of a cognizable offence. It is a report of information that reaches the police first in point of time and that is why it is called the First Information Report. It is generally a complaint lodged with the police by the victim of a cognizable offence or by someone on his/her behalf. Anyone can report the commission of a cognizable offence either orally or in writing to the police. |

| #2 Do we have a Pakistan-English dictionary anywhere? Some of these stories are hard to understand. What's a FIR? Do they date back to the English? |

| #1 I heard Pak hospitals store their blood next to the polio vaccine. Sometimes it leaks a little. |
