A Mulagoori tribe lashker foiled a Taliban bid to kidnap a prayer leader from a local mosque late on Friday. The lashker captured 11 Taliban after an exchange of fire. The tribesmen intercepted the Taliban taking prayer leader Omer Gul to the Khyber Sheikhwal area. Three Taliban were injured during the clash, and have been handed over to the political administration. The remaining eight Taliban are still being held by the lashker. The tribesmen said they would decide about the remaining Taliban's fate following consultations. One Taliban was killed in a brief clash outside the mosque as the prayer leader was hauled into a Taliban vehicle.
