| ISLAMABAD: Videos of two former ISI officers, who went missing last month, were released by unknown militants in the tribal areas of Pakistan on Monday. Col (retd) Amir Sultan, widely known as Col. Imam and Squadron Leader (retd) Khalid Khawaja went missing in the tribal areas last month while they were accompanying a journalist to assist him with a documentary on militants. In the video, both hostages introduced themselves as former ISI officers. They claimed that they were visiting the tribal areas following an advice by former Army Chief General Aslam Baig and former DG ISI Lt.General Hamid Gul. However, Khawaja also mentioned the name of a serving ISI official, Colonel Sajjad and said that he visited the area on his direction. The militants have demanded the release of at least two arrested Taliban leaders in Pakistan's custody for the release of the two officers. The demand was made through an email which also contained the footage of the two officers. The militants have threatened that if Mullah Kabir and Mullah Mansoor Dadullah were not released, the officers would be killed. The unknown militants who sent their email late Sunday night also mentioned that they would issue another list of their demands soon. |
