Frustrated with govt, man turns to Taliban for help
[Pak Daily Times] Frustrated with the government's inability to help him, a man in Pakistain has appealed to Taliban warlords to rescue his 11-year-old son kidnapped by criminals more than a month ago."I knocked on the door of each and every government official but no one gave me justice to recover my only son," Fareed Khan told Rooters in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. . "Now the Taliban are my last hope. I believe they will recover my son. The Taliban are good Mohammedans and good human beings. They don't demand bribes for the provision of justice." Khan, 45, said he had no other choice in his quest to rescue his son, Furqan Fareed, who was kidnapped on November 5 in the city of Bannu. Bannu is near North  Wazoo, an ethnic Pashtun region on the Afghan border where many al Qaeda-linked Taliban fighters are based. State security forces have next to no presence there. Government officials were not available for comment. Khan said his son suffered from epilepsy and feared that he might die. He added: "Now my wife, my three daughters and I publicly appeal to the Pak Taliban to recover my son." Posted by: Fred 2013-12-17 |
