22 Marri miscreants surrender
Bureau Report

QUETTA—A group of around 22 insurgents laid down their arms and surrendered before the authorities in Balochistan, officials said on Saturday.
”A total of 22 tribesmen belonging to Marri tribe have surrendered with weapons and explosives in the town of Sibbi, a security official said. “They surrendered unconditionally and have promised to live peacefully,” he added.
The rebels had been hiding at three fugitives camps known as Karmo Wadh, Haftpur and Bangan and had been taking part in anti-state activities, he said.
A rebel commander said that the group had surrendered arms after realising that their tribe had been fighting for a unrealistic cause. “We were mislead by our people that our nation will get independence and that there will be prosperity, but that never happened,” leader Wadera Tawwakal Marri said.
