No foreigners in North Waziristan: Naik Zaman
ISLAMABAD: There are no foreigners in North Waziristan Agency and if the government has proof that there are it should release it in the media, according to Maulana Naik Zaman, member of the National Assembly from North Waziristan.
Many local tribesmen have been killed under the guise of military operations against foreign militants, Zaman said in an interview with the BBC. Locals used to cooperate with the military, but there is now increasing hatred of the army among the local population because of the killing of innocent civilians, he added. Bazaars and residences have been razed and tribesmen who had been protecting the border with Afghanistan for the last 55 years are being killed, he said. online

NO wonder Bush told Musharraf to pull up his socks and get serious about it.
If there are no foreigner and the Pakistan govt cannot further proof otherwise, it appears that it is a campaign to get rid of those who are opposed to the present Federal govt!
No wonder even some units of the Pakistan army mutined in the face of this farce!
Truth seems to be the victim!
Who should one believe?
