MINGORA, Dec 11: The Awami National Party has demanded of the international community to constitute a war tribunal to probe into the Qila-i-Jangi carnage.

The demand was made at a meeting of the ANP office-bearers of the Malakand Division here on Tuesday.

Wali Akber Khan Yousufzai, Shah Zamin Khan, Arshad Khan Yousufzai, Bacha Munir, Bacha Islam, Naseeb Rawan, Asmat Akhunkhel, Saifullah, Khan Rahim Afghani, Israr Khan Otmankhel, Haji Sher Bahadur Khan Nekpikhel, Syed Dildar Shah Bacha, Waheed Ullah Yousufzai, Israr Khan and others spoke at the meeting, presided over by the party’s general-secretary, Muhammad Ibrar Yousufzai.

They condemned killings of Pakhtoons in Afghanistan, saying that the (US-led) campaign was only against the Pakhtoons and not terrorists.

They accused the US and the Northern Alliance of killing Pakhtoons under a conspiracy, and said the Qila-i-Jangi massacre was the most tragic incident of the history in which prisoners of war had been killed in contravention with the international law and human rights.

The ANP office-bearers called upon the Amnesty International, the Asia Watch, the Red Cross and the United Nations Organization to launch a movement for bringing the killers to book.

They rejected the Bonn accord, saying that the Pakhtoons had not been given due representation at the Bonn conference.
