Hundreds of Mehsud tribesmen protested for a second day in Pakistan to demand compensation for the damage caused to their homes during a massive anti-Taliban military operation carried out by the government in 2009. The tribesmen gathered on January 28 in Tank district in the northwest of the country to complain about the slow progress being made in processing and distributing financial compensation to families.
