Gulf News Online: Tribal group told to turn in wanted men
Topic: Current Events 2:19 am EST, Jan 11, 2004

] Stunned by Friday's rocket attack on a Pakistan Army camp
] in South Waziristan tribal agency that killed four
] soldiers and wounded several others, the political
] administration yesterday gave a 48-hour ultimatum to the
] Ahmadzai Wazir tribe to surrender three wanted tribesmen
] charged with harbouring "foreign terrorists."
]
] The ultimatum was given to a jirga of Ahmadzai Wazir
] tribe in Wana, headquarters of South Waziristan. More
] than 50 tribal elders belonging to the nine sub-tribes of
] Ahmadzai Wazir attended the jirga. Among them were heads
] of the Yargulkhel section of the tribe to which the
] wanted men belong.
  . . . 
] The tribe would be collectively held responsible for the attack
] under tribal customs prevalent in South Waziristan and other
] Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and could face
] punitive action in the coming days.
  . . . 
] Failure to surrender the three would invite a series of punitive
] measures including arrest of the tribal elders, seizure of their
] vehicles and closure of their shops and businesses.

I'm not entirely sure I understand everything in this article, but it's interesting to try and follow the political complexities in this area of the world. I'm also very curious to learn whether "foreign terrorists" might mean any Al Qaeda bigwigs...
