| [ADN Kronos] Four Pakistani frontier guards were abducted on Friday in the troubled Swat valley in North West Frontier Province, Geo News reported, citing unnamed local sources. According to the sources, the frontier guards were kidnapped in a mountainous area near the border with Afghanistan. No militant group immediately claimed responsibility for the kidnappings, which breach a recent peace accord between the NWFP government and militants in Swat. Under the historic peace accord signed in February, militants agreed to lay down their arms and end 18 months of bloodletting in return for the implementation of Islamic (Shariah) law in Swat and the surrounding Malakand division. The Pakistani Taliban said on Monday it wants Shariah law applied not only throughout Pakistan but in a worldwide Muslim caliphate made up of 56 states. The Pakistani Taliban's spokesman Muslim Khan made the remarks in an exclusive interview with DawnNews TV. Khan also said in the interview that the Taliban would only lay down their arms in Swat if Islamic courts ordered them to do so. |
