Is this a bad translation or do they really intend to execute journalists that are reporting bad news?

Lashkar fails to nab any foreigner in Shakai area
WANA: The tribal Lashkar of Ahmadzai Wazir continued search for suspected foreign militants in Shakai area of South Waziristan Agency, but failed to nab any non-Pakistani despite hectic efforts.
The Lashkar comprising thousands of armed tribesmen searched Spirkai and other areas inhibited by Khojakhel, Khonikhel and Etikhel sub-tribes of Ahmadzai and spent the whole day to find any clue to the whereabouts of suspected foreigners. They also searched houses of the local tribesmen.
An elder from Shakai, Malik Jalil told the Lashkar that no foreign national was hiding in the area and warned that the house of the tribesmen would be demolished and heavy fines imposed on them if any foreign national was recovered from any place. He told the Lashkar that Rs one million fine would also be imposed on those offering protection to foreign nationals.
In light of the decision taken by the 36-member supervisory committee of tribals, six armed members of the Lashkar were tasked to stay in the area till Friday and report to the committee in Wana about the presence of suspected foreign elements, if any.
Addressing the Lashkar at Wana on return, Malik Baa Khan, Malik Saeedullah, Wallah Khan and Khaddin said it showed that no foreign national was spotted in areas where search operation was conducted by the Lashkar as these elements might have shifted to other areas before the operation. They said that the decision to go after the foreign elements was intact and the tribesmen would not rest till the issue was resolved and all the concerned parties were satisfied.
The speakers also warned the media people not to portray the issue in a negative manner and must not give the impression that South Waziristan Agency had become a safe haven for foreign terrorists. They said the journalists making negative reporting would be publicly executed. In a relative development, the government has transferred all three assistant political agents of the agency and asked them to hand over charge to the new officers to be posted soon.
Note that they mention that it is close to China and Tajikistan. Both countries have problems with Muslim fundamentalists. I doubt that T can handle the situation, high ranking officers in their security service are profiting on smuggling of drugs and arms.

The government will provide all possible assistance for completion of these projects, the meeting decided.
Moreover, Pakistan is going to seal its frontiers in Chitral-Wakhan area bordering Afghanistan to stop activities of suspected elements in the area .
To this effect, the NWFP Home Ministry has forwarded a plan to the federal government in this regard .
The step has been taken in order to stop the crossing of Al Qaeda and Taliban elements in to the country. It may be recalled that Wakhan border area is situated between Afghanistan and Pakistan while China and Tajikistan are also close to the area
Looks like the death penalty for lying journalists.....hmmm. Watch out Reuters, CNN, AP, etc.
