 Suspected Taliban abducted at least nine tribesmen from the upper tehsil of Orakzai agency on Saturday, said sources, as a NATO supplier was kidnapped in Landikotal. In Orakzai, the sources said the abducted people were members of the Shaikhan, Ali Khel and Mushti tribes. Meanwhile, two people were also kidnapped from Shahu area of Hangu district on Saturday. A police constable was kidnapped from the same area on Friday. Shahu Government High School was closed on Saturday for an indefinite period because of tensions over the killing of a grade six student. In Landikotal, the NATO supplier, Mehfooz Khan, was kidnapped on the Charwagzai main road while he was on his way to Peshawar. Mehfooz -- the owner of Torkham Pak Custom Clearance Agency -- was also kidnapped 15 years ago.
