2007-11-20 |
KHAR: Unidentified armed men kidnapped five political administration officials, including a tehsildar, in the town of Nawagai in Bajaur district on Monday. The masked men entered a residential colony in Nawagai and whisked away Shahriyar, a tehsildar, Baseer Khan, a muharrar, and three levies personnel in their car. The kidnappers fired in the air as they reached the Nawagai Scouts camp, witnesses said. Separately, militants attacked two leviesÂ’ check-posts and a TV booster in the Alizo Dag and Barang areas. No one was killed or injured in the two incidents. The Associated Press, however, reported that militants stormed a government compound in Nawagai and abducted seven paramilitary policemen and an official. |
