A convoy of the MOL Company was going to inspect the Marozai gas project in Lachi on January 20, 2011 when unknown gunnies shot up it from the mountains of Ghurzandi. Six people, including four FC men who were escorting the convoy, were killed in the ambush. The kidnappers kidnapped the engineer and the driver of the MOL Company. The law-enforcement agencies carried out a search operation but did not find any trace of the abductees. The Lachi police registered the case against unknown Islamic fascisti on the complaint of one of the FC men. The MOL Company said the victims were released from tribal agency whose name could not be disclosed due to security reasons. The victims had reached their homes and were in good health, officials said. |
