Taliban abduct two soldiers in Khar
Militants kidnapped two Bajaur Levies soldiers on Friday at Jar checkpost, 12 kilometres from the agency headquarters in Khar. Thirty-five armed insurgents stormed the roadside checkpost and whisked away two soldiers, AP quoted local commander Major Fazle Rabi as saying. "There were a few soldiers [there] when the militants stormed the small post at dawn," Rabi said. "They took two of our men and fled to an unknown place." Rabi said police have launched a search operation for the missing men.
