Pakistan tribes raze Taliban houses after bombing
By Mohammad Hashim1 hour, 22 minutes ago
Angry Pakistani tribesmen traded fire with Taliban militants and demolished
their houses in a northwestern tribal region after a car suicide attack killed
at least 40 people, residents and officials said on Saturday.
Television channels put the death toll at as high as 70.
The bomber drove his explosive-laden car into the middle of a tribal council
meeting in Orakzai tribal region on Friday where hundreds of tribesmen were
discussing a government-backed plan to raise a lashkar or tribal militia to
evict militants.
Pakistan's tribal areas on the Afghan border are regarded as safe havens for al
Qaeda and Taliban militants, and the government is under tremendous pressure
from the United States to take stern action to stem the flow of insurgents to
Afghanistan.
"Everyone is angry and upset here. The tribesmen attacked houses of the Taliban
in Khadizai after the bombing. Two houses have been demolished," Noorzad
Orakzai, a resident of the Khadizai area where attack took place, told Reuters
by telephone.
"There have been exchanges of fire throughout the night. It's still going on,"
he added.
Jehanzeb Siddique, a senior government official dealing with tribal areas, told
Reuters that they had confirmation of 40 deaths from the car bombing.
Other officials said the death toll could rise further as many of the nearly
100 wounded people were in critical condition while several bodies were still
unidentified.
The attack in Orakzai came a day after a suicide blast inside the heavily
guarded police headquarters in the capital Islamabad in which eight policemen
were wounded.
Orakzai has been the most peaceful of Pakistan's seven semi-autonomous tribal
regions. Unlike most of the others, Orakzai does not border Afghanistan.
Militants have unleashed a wave of violence in Pakistan in recent months after
the military launched major offensives against them in the rugged northwest
including Bajaur and Swat regions.
JOINT SESSION
The mounting militant threat prompted the government to convene a closed joint
session of the two-chambered parliament for a briefing by intelligence
officials on internal security.
The parliamentarians are due to begin debate on the situation after Pakistan's
newly appointed intelligence chief briefed them this week on the militant
threat.
But a Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman criticized U.S. missile attacks into
Pakistan, saying it will stoke public anger.
Since the start of September the United States has carried out at least nine
missile attacks, the latest on Thursday night, and a commando raid on militant
targets in Pakistan's tribal areas.
"Such strikes will fuel anti-American sentiments which will neither beneficial
for us nor for the United States," foreign ministry spokesman Mohammad Sadiq
said.
