PESHAWAR, Pakistan - Pakistani police on Thursday arrested 15 members of a tribal council accused of ordering the burning alive of a young girl for helping a couple to elope in a so-called "honour killing", police said.

The 16-year-old girl was set on fire last week in the town of Donga Gali, about 50 km (30 miles) northeast of the capital, Islamabad, on the orders of the council, said district police chief Saeed Wazir.

Police said the honour killing was ordered as punishment for what the council deemed irreparable damage to the village's reputation. The couple appeared to have escaped.

The girl's mother and brother were also arrested, Wazir said, as they were present during the meeting and allegedly agreed to the sentence.

“The current head of catholiciism says...”

The current head of Catholicism is leading the his church down the same road as the Church of England. His was not a wise election.

This shit will only stop when enough of the jihad preaching imams get dragged into the street and beaten to death. They are cowards who send their weak minded slaves out to do their dirty work. When they discover that they themselves will have to pay the price for their hate preaching, it will stop.

The whole council should be torched on TV as punishment.
