Police searching for militants within Swat displaced families
 The NWFP police have started searching for militants in camps and residential places of the displaced families from Swat after reports that the militants have been shifting to other parts of the province through the displaced people, official sources told Daily Times on Saturday. Police and intelligence agencies are trying to search every house and camp of the displaced people to check if the Taliban or militants in Swat are moving to other parts of the province through the displaced families, police sources said. The sources said that police had also sealed all entry points to the Swat district to restrict militants movement to the valley and collect data of the displaced people. Mardan District Police Officer (DPO) Mohammad Yamin confirmed that police were searching for militants within the Swat displaced families. We have started scanning the people from Swat. This will not only help police restrict militants movement to the troubled areas, but also provide 90 percent data of the displaced people to provincial and district governments.Posted by: Fred 2007-11-25 |
