nazir

On several occasions, Pakistani officials tipped off Maulvi Nazir and his men about impending drone strikes.

Since 2007, Maulvi Nazir and the Pakistani military had kept to an unwritten truce.

Whatever protection the Pakistanis had been giving to Maulvi Nazir was no longer on the table.

If this sounds a lot like the Abu Nazir backstory, well, it should.

Brody had to recalibrate when Akbari head faked in a public square and enlisted Abu Nazir's widow to vet him instead.

Upon which, promising to return on some future day, I left the Nazir to his own reflections, and quitted the house.

On the way, the chiefs who had conspired against Nazir Jung mutinied against his successor.

Seeing them in this state, Anas ibn Nazir shamed them: 'What aileth you that ye are so downcast?'

Mussa ibn Nazir came on the following day with the chief body.

Nazir, therefore, seized the reins of government, and all the resources of the state.
