| 2009-01-30 |
| The banned outfit Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesperson, Qari Sarfraz, on Wednesday threatened to resume attacks on police installations in the district if the authorities failed to free "innocent" people. Talking to the media by phone from an undisclosed location, he said police were interrogating "innocent" people who were arrested during different raids. He said police were well aware of the location of the criminal dens but no raid was conducted intentionally to make arrests. "Police have been raiding inns and hotels to arrest the innocent people, under the pretext of launching a crackdown on the suspected persons," he said, adding that about 250 innocent people were in police custody and were being grilled. |
