Taliban hold 5 Pakistani paramilitaries, will decide their fate under Islamic law
Islamic militants in Pakistan today claimed to have kidnapped five security personnel from the troubled north Waziristan province bordering Afghanistan.
Five para-military personnel, on routine patrolling duty in Ramzak, were kidnapped last week, Tariq Jamil, a spokesperson of the militants said.
The government has, however, not confirmed the claims, local NNI news agency reported.
Jameel said the soldiers are alive and their fate will be decided under Islamic laws. He did not present any condition for their release.
Meanwhile, rockets were fired on the headquarters of security forces in Miranshah last night. The security forces retaliated with shelling of the area.
No one claimed responsibility for the attack.
