Night curfew in Mingora
2009-05-04
The security forces announced a night curfew in Mingora, the main town of the restive Swat valley, on Sunday. The move followed reports of armed Taliban patrolling the city and attacking and ransacking public and private property. "Curfew has been imposed in Mingora from 9pm to 6am," said a press release issued by the Swat Media Centre. "People have been asked to remain indoors during the curfew hours," it said. Khushal Khan, a top Swat administrator, told the Associated Press that officials were discussing what to do if the Taliban violate the curfew order. Seperately, the security forces arrested three Taliban in Mingora and seized ammunition and "propaganda material" from them.
