File under: Taliban

#1 Local Taliban kidnapped two Frontier Constabulary (FC) (Shawal Rifles) soldiers in the Razmak subdivision of North Waziristan on Tuesday as they were strolling outside the army fort of the Razmak subdivision, around 70 kilometres south of Miranshah. One of the soldiers belongs to Swat, while the other belongs to Mardan. Taliban spokesman in North Waziristan Ahmedullah Ahmedi claimed responsibility for the soldiers abduction.

Oh my, it seems like only yesterday when the Pak army agreed to withdraw from Wazibillistan and allow the FC to 'take responsibility for security'. Where does the time go?

#2 The term 'commando' must have a different meaning in Pakistan than what I'm used to; if 15 non-Pakistani commandos were killed in an attack by a bunch of tribal militants I would expect there to be a noticable number of militants killed, at least 100.
