Militants attack Kurram festival; 24 kidnapped
[Dawn] Militants kidnapped 24 rustics along with their 15 vehicles from the Baggan area of Lower Kurram Agency...home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, where the laws of cause and effect are assumed to be suspended... and shifted them to their hideout in the central Kurram on Tuesday, DawnNews reported. A weekly festival was going on in Baggan when rebels attacked the festival and kidnapped 20 people along with their 14 vehicles. Sources claimed that the rebels belonged to the Sattar group from Wazoo. Later, in the same area four more people were picked up by snuffies along with a vehicle. Tribesmen termed the recent incidents of terrorism tragic and demanded the government to take notice of the violation of a peace agreement in the region. Posted by: Fred 2011-03-23 |
