| 2 tribal elders busted in Waziristan |
| 2004-07-02 |
| Tribesmen in the South Waziristan region of Pakistan have handed over two tribal elders wanted by authorities. Dawar Khan and Eda Khan were among seven locals suspected of sheltering al-Qaeda militants. The handover took place in the town of Wana, at a meeting between government officials and men belonging to the Ahmedzai Wazir tribe. The two men had survived a fierce offensive last month by Pakistani troops hunting for suspected militants. |
