BAJAUR: Three men who survived the recent military raid on a madrassa in Bajaur have been shifted to an undisclosed location, reported BBC on Tuesday. Abubekar (20), Syed Wali Shah (18) and Noor Rehman (16) were taken to hospital following the strike and the Red Cross was funding their treatment, but journalists were not allowed to meet them. It is not yet known whether the ban on meeting them had been imposed by the federal government or the provincial government. Talking to BBC, the three men rejected the government’s claim of foreign terrorists’ presence in the madrassa at the time of the strike. They said “we never participated in a militant operation, nor did we ever go to Afghanistan”. |
