'Taliban will be accountable if hostages harmed'
Local Taliban will be held accountable if any harm is done to 29 kidnapped government officials, NWFP Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain said on Saturday. A Taliban spokesman on Friday warned that militants would kill 29 kidnapped government officials, most of them security personnel, if security forces continued their operation in Hangu district. The minister said in a statement the government would have no other option except to pay in the same coin, if someone challenges its writ. Posted by: Fred 2008-07-13 |
