Security forces late on Tuesday re-launched an operation in Swat after Taliban militants kidnapped 30 security forces personnel from a checkpost in Swat Valley, a day after killing three intelligence officials, sources said. The decision to launch operation 'Rah-e-Haq phase-II' in Swat was taken in a meeting between the NWFP governor and chief minister at the Governor's House, Geo News reported.
Earlier a security official told AFP on condition of anonymity that Taliban attacked a police station in the Kabal area of Swat and kidnapped 11 police and 19 Frontier Corps troops on Tuesday morning.
