...interrogation, shot him and two of his comrades. Six of Haq's men are still under arrest, along with 20 other supporters--dousing U.S. and Pakistani hopes of an uprising among the country's Pashtun tribesmen. Haq's execution, says a foreign diplomat in Islamabad, "will make any tribal chieftain hesitate before turning against the Taliban." Ahmadullah couldn't hide his glee. In a satellite-telephone interview with a Peshawar journalist, he exulted, "Anyone who tries to enter Afghanistan will meet the same fate as Abdul...

In fact, as the stage was being set for the Iowans, a huge black flag hid the area, emblazoned with the band’s tribal “S” logo entwined with a red pentagram. Slipknot’s overall nihilistic message fits with their onstage personas, that of anonymous and inhuman characters/monsters.
