 PESHAWAR: Allied troops’ movement on Pak-Afghan borders in North and South Waziristan has geared up.
Hundreds of Allied troops armed with their choppers, tanks, mortars and high-tech weapons have arrived at the Pak-Afghan borders, while the tribesmen viewing the situation threatening have started shifting from the bordering areas. Sources said that hundreds of Allied troops armed with their helicopters, tanks, mortars and high-tech weapons have started arriving since last night near the bordering areas Ghulam Khan, Shawal, Amir Chapsar and Alwara. Allied forces warplanes were also seen hovering over these areas, sources said.
Following the arrival of Allied troops and hovering of the aircrafts in the sky, the tribesmen fearing the worst have started evacuating these bordering areas. On the other hand, Utmanzai tribe leader, Haji Muhammad Afzal has announced in a Jirga that if the Allied forces dared to step in the tribal land, then the 2 million strong tribesmen would forcefully retaliate with shrouds wrapped on their heads.
