Militants kidnap six Pakistanis working for Polish oil firm in Dera Ismail Khan
[DAWN] Six Paks working for a Polish oil and gas surveying company have been kidnapped near Dera Ismail Khan... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ... , military sources told Rooters, years after a Polish engineer from the same company was beheaded by Lion of Islams. The six Geofizyka Krakow workers were snatched from their vehicles on Saturday afternoon on a road near the village of Drazinda, about 80km from the city of Dera Ismail Khan, two officials with security forces in the area said. One of the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, provided Rooters with the names and national identity card numbers of the workers. Geofizyka Krakow, a subsidiary of Poland's state-run gas firm PGNiG, could not be immediately reached for comment. On its website, the PGNiG local unit said it had gone into liquidation in August 2016. "They were sub-contractors providing works for Geofizyka Krakow, a company which is now in liquidation. They were not Polish," a PGNiG front man said. He declined to give any more details. A Polish foreign ministry spokeswoman tweeted that there were no Polish citizens in the group and that the Polish embassy in Islamabad is monitoring the situation. Posted by: Fred 2016-11-28 |
