Farooq Khan, a Chilas resident, said the pro
testers also took over gas stations. “Only those
with chits issued by local clerics are allowed to
buy gas,” Khan said by telephone.
Further details were not immediately avail
able because of the remoteness of the region,
which is dominated by ethnic Pashtuns. The
Taliban are also predominantly Pashtun.
But both groups in Pakistan’s North West
Frontier Province, which is actually in the country’s
northeast, are takmg theactica*.s to oppose Pakistan’s
support of U.S.-led attacks on Afghanistan. They
say President Gen. Pervez Musharraf’s government
is betraying the nation — and Islam — by turning its
back on Pakistan's neighbor.
Anti-American and anti-government senti
ment has swept across Pakistan since U.S.
airstrikes on suspected terrorist Osama bin
Laden’s installations in Afghanistan — and on
Afghan cities — began Oct. 7. Though only a
fraction of Pakistan’s 145 million people have
joined demonstrations, protests have been vehe
ment and sometimes violent.
