Peace body vows to foil US plans of action in N WaziristanMIRANSHAH: Tribal people will “foil American plans and anti-Islam forces’ designs” to trigger a military operation in North Waziristan where peace prevails, members of a peace committee declared on Saturday. “America and anti-Islam forces are looking for lame excuses to start a military operation here. We, the residents of North Waziristan, will not let it happen,” Maulvi Gul Ramzan, Maulvi Sahar Gul and other members of the peace committee told a press conference. They said the government’s writ prevailed in North Waziristan and a peace agreement between the government and the Utmanzai tribes was still in place. “America wants a bloodbath between the army and the tribal people. We advise our rulers against launching any operation in Waziristan.” “Wherever the government suspects presence of unwanted people, we will help it visit these areas,” the committee members told reporters. They added that there were certain elements who were trying to create a rift between the government and the tribal people by circulating malicious pamphlets and “we will expose these elements soon”. “We will consider it US-imposed if the government orders any operation,” the committee members said. staff report
