| Chinese Engineers Kidnapped in Pakistan |
| 2004-10-10 |
| Two Chinese engineers helping Pakistan build a dam in a tense tribal region were kidnapped early Saturday along with at least one Pakistani security guard and their driver, officials said. The engineers were on their way to Tank, in the remote South Waziristan region where al-Qaida-linked militants are active, when five gunmen ambushed their two vehicles, police and intelligence sources said. Pakistan's Interior Ministry said law enforcement agencies were chasing the kidnappers and had sealed the area. "Our security forces are trying to rescue them without getting them harmed," Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told The Associated Press. |
