Learning from Cheney...

So what do you do when your house is on fire? Of course, instead of losing your head, you go hunting.

NAWABSHAH, Nov 10: NWFP Governor Ali Mohammed Jan Aurakzai found the time for a hunting trip on Saturday and flew to Nawabshah especially for the purpose.

Wapda chairman Shakeel Ahmed Durrani accompanied the governor on the trip at the Pai Forest and Game Sanctuary near Sakrand.

Sources told Dawn that the two hunted around 59 partridges.

Daily surrender count..

Here are a few more to add to our daily friendship count. Major and Captain along with soldiers join Kabbal residents in revelries: Residents invited a major, a captain and five soldiers to a delayed iftar dinner in Kabbal tehsil on Saturday.

Resident commander Akbar Hussain, who is in charge of the tehsil, said the soldiers were traveling in an army vehicle when they were invited to rest, recreation, dinner and prayers at a resort near Kabbal. He said a major, a captain, two lance naiks and three sepoys had been taken hostage.

He said that the soldiers share secret files and maps marking residents positions and they had been taken to Imam Dheri, the headquarters of Maulana Fazalullah’s movement.

Of course, residents should be careful they can now be court-martialed.
