The argument over an Arab militant's widow last weekend became so heated that gunfire broke out among insurgent factions, leaving eight people dead...
The dead include Usman Punjabi, the abductor of British journalist Asad Qureshi.
Tension mounted between the Punjabi (non-Pushtun Pakistanis) and Mehsud (local tribe) militants after an Arab militant was killed in a drone strike, leaving behind his widow.
'The widow was rich and after the incident of husband's death she was alone. The local Mehsud tribesmen took her into their custody and were aiming to arrange her marriage to one of their own men...
After the Muslim Ramadan breakfast Saturday morning, all militants belonging to Mehsud tribes and the Punjabi camp gathered in a local school in Dande Darpa Khail in North Waziristan near Afghanistan to discuss the widow.

We need a photo of the widow in question before we can assess if the “arguement” was justified.

She had THREE cows!
what a quirky people
If Islamofacists could only be isolated from the rest of the planet, they would eventually wipe each other out.
“Arab gold-diggers.”
No, Pakistani gold diggers.
Predator Drone Strikes.....
The gift that keeps on giving.
What’s worse than being an Arab bride? Being an Arab widow in Pakistan.
The widow was RICH?? Was John Kerry in on the fight?
No comment from NOW?
Sounds like West Side Story with turbans and AK-47s.
And the US is officer Krupke.
A scene like this could be lifted right out of a stone-age novel by Jean M. Auel (”Clan of the Cave Bear”).
