Pakistani tribesmen get time to flush out fugitives
Pakistan tribal leaders, ordered to flush out suspected al-Qaida fugitives along the Afghan border, may be given more time to allow a 2,000-strong posse to finish the task, officials said today.
“If they deliver positively then we don’t have any problems to give them more time, but if they just want to prolong this process, then we will reconsider,” said Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah, governor of Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province.
