Pakistan tribal chiefs arrested


Pakistani forces have been active in the South Waziristan tribal area

Pakistan authorities have arrested 16 tribal chiefs in South Waziristan who they say were not cooperating in rounding up al-Qaeda and Taliban elements hiding in the region.

Lying on the border with Afghanistan, South Waziristan is part of Pakistan's western tribal areas, semi-autonomous states which are often described as 'no-man's land.'

But local official Rehmatullah Wazir denied the move could further fuel tensions in the region, which is said to boast strong ideological ties with the Taleban.

***He said the arrests were a calculated decision and would soon bear fruit.***

They have been saying, especially in Pakistan, get to the local villagers/farmers etc or anyone providing food, meds to OBL, threaten their livelihood and it will produce results
