10 Mohmand Rifles soldiers go missing

2007-09-02

Ten Mohmand Rifles troops, including a major, went missing in Qandharou region of Mohmand Agency on Saturday while on their way back from agency headquarters in Ghala Nai, Geo News reported.

There is no word from the jirga, but we hope it will bring the soldiers back safe and sound.

Also, the more than 100 trapped security personnel near Ladah, South Waziristan, have not reached their base yet as a tribal jirga continued talks on Saturday with the militants for their release, administration sources in Wana said. There is no word from the jirga, but we hope it will bring the soldiers back safe and sound, they said asking not to be named.

AFP adds: Military authorities insisted the soldiers were stranded after straying into Ladah on Thursday in stormy rainfall. Though negotiations continued, there had been no report of any shootings, though militants are believed to have surrounded the 150 or so soldiers, a local security official said.
