Swat jirga asks Taliban to stop kidnappings
A meeting of Swat Qaumi Amn Jirga held in Peshawar hailed the implementation of the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation and asked Taliban to stop kidnapping for ransom and looting of private property, a statement said on Friday. The meeting demanded that the government enforce its writ in the restive valley. The jirga expressed its reservations over the occupation by Taliban of the properties of local elders, educational institutes and construction of bunkers in mountains and said such acts could jeopardise the Swat deal. Mukhtar Khan Yousafzai, Swat District Nazim Jamal Nasir, Sher Shah Khan also attended the meeting.Posted by: Fred 2009-04-18 |
