Foreigners in North Waziristan

AMSTERDAM: This is with reference to Asad Munir’s article of June 16 titled “Operation in North Waziristan”.

I wonder why the military would ask the people of North Waziristan to evict all the foreigners in their midst? What if the same situation was faced the residents of Lahore? Would they be expected to evict them as well? And, anyway, who has allowed these foreigners to have sanctuaries in North Waziristan in the first place?
