‏Foreign terrorists given 15-days deadline to surrender in Pakistani tribal‏ from Kuwait News Agency

Yep, that ought to be about enough time to escape

The tribal elders said they would hold Jirgas and mutual consultation in ‏
‏their respective tribes, adding, and would try either to surrender foreign ‏
‏terrorists
and hand over them over to the government or to compel them to ‏
‏leave Pakistan.



"foreign terrorists"? OK, so the home boys can stay? Do a word search of this article and see how many times the phrase "foregin terrorists" comes up. I guess if you are Pakistani you are not a terrorist then.

"or to compel them to leave Pakistan." Good luck with that one.

They have been given deadline several times but none yield ‏
‏any results. All ended on military offensive. However, this time the tribes ‏
‏are fully cooperating with the government. ‏
‏ The Mahsud tribe Lashkar (force), comprising 6000-armed men, have launched ‏
‏house-to-house search operation. They have arrested around 10 suspects and ‏
‏handed them over to the government. In the related development Ahmedzai has ‏
‏also launched an operation to arrest suspects, who kidnapped and killed 8 ‏
‏soldiers and 2 government officials.


I don't hold out much hope for this. I'm sure President Musharraf wants these guys out but I'm also sure he doesn't want any of them in a Pakistani jail.
