How is Shrub going to take this? :shrug:
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=4928896&pageNumber=0SHAKAI, Pakistan (Reuters) - Five tribesmen accused of sheltering al Qaeda militants surrendered to the Pakistan army at a tribal council on Saturday, after being hunted for a week in mountains on the border with Afghanistan.
The five fugitives were expected to hand in a list of foreign militants living with them in South Waziristan, a desolate region where al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri have been pursued in the past.
Thousands of turbaned Pashtun tribesmen looked on as the five men from the Zali Kheil tribe turned themselves in before a "jirga," or tribal council, and pledged loyalty to Pakistan in return for clemency.

"We give amnesty to these people in return for their pledge of brotherhood and loyalty," said Lieutenant-General Safdar Hussain, the regional army commander, who arrived at the jirga to chants of "Allahu Akbar," or "God is Greatest."
