 Pro-Taliban militant leader Maulana Fazlullah on Sunday accused security forces of committing “atrocities” against civilians, and said the security forces did not even spare women and children.
Fazlullah said over his illegal radio station that only 32 militants had been killed during clashes with security forces. He said the militants would not object to security forces building checkposts at any place.
Meanwhile, authorities relaxed curfew from 6am to 5pm in Chakdara, Mingora and surrounding areas. The Swat Media Information Centre said in a statement that the security forces had captured various heights in Bariam Bar and Pir Kalay. A Frontier Corps official, requesting anonymity, said the FC had captured 26 militants from Ayub Bridge, Fizza Gut and Landa Kai.
