Graves of militants STORYLINE: Tribal militants praised by the government for an assault on foreign fighters in northwestern Pakistan said on Tuesday that they would not allow "foreign extremists" into Waziristan. Fierce clashes between armed tribesmen and Central Asian militants last week in Pakistan's South Waziristan tribal region, bordering Afghanistan, reportedly left up to 160 people dead, including about 130 Uzbek and Chechen fighters allegedly linked to al-Qaida. The government hailed the bloodletting as a sign that local tribes will evict foreign militants without the involvement of Pakistani security forces. A spokesman for the Pakistani military, which is under pressure from the United States to do more against Taliban and al-Qaida in the remote border zone, even described them as "patriots". But members of the tribal militia that led last week's assault told reporters that they had not turned against the foreigners for the government's sake. "Which ever country did wrong with us whether it is America, Russia, China or even Pakistan, the tribal people would be ready to fight against them, even if India did, we will be there," Haji Sharif, an aide to a senior tribal leader in the region, told reporters in Wana, South Waziristan's main town. Sharif is an aide to Maulvi Nazir, a militant leader formerly aligned with the Taliban militia fighting foreign troops in Afghanistan. Reporters were shown vehicles that were allegedly taken from Americans across the border in Afghanistan.
