| Militants released 10 paramilitary soldiers on Tuesday, four days after abducting them in Mohmand Agency, and another four paramilitary soldiers, nearly two months after they were abducted from Bajaur Agency. The 10 Frontier Corps soldiers were handed over to a jirga that brokered their freedom in Mohmand Agency, said Arbab Mohammed Arif Khan, FATA security chief. “They were released unconditionally,” Khan said. The troops were headed to Ghalanai to meet with government authorities, Khan said. In Bajaur Agency, local Taliban agreed to free four militiamen after the authorities released their colleague, Bajaur administration chief Mohammad Jamil told reporters. |
