| 2010-05-18 |
| PESHAWAR: Gunmen on Monday released the remaining 11 hostages kidnapped two days ago from the border of Hangu district and Kurram Agency. An official statement released by the FATA Secretariat Directorate of Information said refuted a news item carried by print and electronic media outlets about the abduction of 60 tribesmen from Kurram Agency. It said the number of the abducted was highly exaggerated, adding that only 14 people had been taken hostage. It said the kidnapping took place near the Tootkas area, which falls under the jurisdiction of Hangu district and not Kurram Agency. |
