300 foreign militants killed in Pakistani month-lo
ISLAMABAD, April 12 (Xinhua) -- Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on Thursday said that around 300 foreign militants have been killed in clashes with local tribesmen in Pakistan's South Waziristan bordering Afghanistan since last month. The local tribesmen have got support from Pakistani Army in the fighting against foreign militants, said Musharraf when addressing a conference of military officials in Islamabad. Among the foreign insurgents scarpe timberland uomo, many are believed to be Uzbeks with al-Qaeda connections autlet timberland, who crossed the Pakistani-Afghan border to seek shelter from local sympathizers in Pakistan's northwest tribal region following the Afghan Taliban regime fall in 2001. This is the first time that Pakistani government admitted its involvement in the tribal clashes, which erupted in early March, when a local tribal elder was attacked in a market in South Waziristan tribal region. Pakistani government and military said the tribesmen took the action after being fed up with the foreign militants. Officials tend to interpret the month-long bloodshed battle as fresh efforts of the tribesmen to fulfill the peace agreements they signed in 2005 and 2006 with the government on helping to curb cross-border movement of fighters and root out foreign militants. Musharraf said the government demanded similar activity in neighboring North Waziristan, adding that there were indications that the same thing would happen. Last week calzado timberland, upon the call from local tribal elders, nearly 1 botas timberland hombre,000 tribesmen in South Waziristan rose to take up arms to expel the foreign militants living there. Reports said the tribal elders have requested the government and the Army to support them. It is still not confirmed what kind of help the Army have provided to the tribesmen. Since joining Washington-led international war on terror following the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. timberland italia, Pakistani government has so far sent some 80,000 troops to hunt foreign militants in tribal region near Afghan border. As part of its "holistic" strategy against terrorism, Pakistani authorities entered into peace agreement with tribal elders in South and North Waziristan respectively in 2005 and 2006. Pakistani military agreed to take down roadblocks, stop patrols and return to their barracks. In exchange, local tribal people promised not to attack troops and to help to end cross-border movement of militants. Pakistan has captured many terrorists with Taliban or al-Qaeda connections, including some top lieutenants of Osama Bin Laden. However, it also lost some 700 soldiers in the counter-terror battle. But there are emerging western reports saying that al-Qaeda are running news operatives in Pakistan's tribal region, which also faces escalating risks of "Talibanization". Rejecting the claims, Pakistani government reaffirmed its resolve against terrorists and called for a joint effort of Pakistani government, Afghan government and Afghanistan-based international forces in curtailing illegal movement of fighters. Pakistan reportedly has started to selectively fence its 2500-km-long border with Afghanistan.Related Topics Articles:
