| [The News (Pak) Top Stories] Twenty-four militants surrendered to security forces while a huge quantity of weapons was seized during a search operation in Charmang area of Bajaur's Nawagai Tehsil on Tuesday. The militants, belonging to Shaida Shah, Asghar and Manogi areas in Charmang valley, laid down arms and surrendered to security forces during a Jirga. Talking to reporters, the surrendering militants said that their non-local accomplices had lured them into so-called Jihad against their own people and security forces. They said they repent what they had done as picking up arms against their own people and security forces was wrong and un-Islamic. The militants said soldiers of the Pakistan Army were their brothers and they would support their endeavours for bringing lasting peace to the area. They urged the militants engaged in fighting against the security forces in Charmang and other areas of Bajaur to surrender to the government. |
