Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Pakistan gave tribal militias an additional 10 days Wednesday to hunt down al-Qaida terrorists and their sympathizers in a remote border region before a threatened military crackdown," reports the Associated Press. "Tribal leaders had asked for the extension, saying their efforts to track down the suspects in the South Waziristan region near the border with Afghanistan were sincere and they needed more time beyond a deadline that expired Tuesday." |
