Taliban hold 5 Pakistani paramilitaries, will decide their fate under Islamic law
2006-04-20
Islamic militants in Pakistan today claimed to have kidnapped five security personnel from the troubled north Waziristan province bordering Afghanistan.

Five para-military personnel, on routine patrolling duty in Ramzak, were kidnapped last week, Tariq Jamil, a spokesperson of the militants said.

The government has, however, not confirmed the claims, local NNI news agency reported.

Jameel said the soldiers are alive and their fate will be decided under Islamic laws. He did not present any condition for their release.

Meanwhile, rockets were fired on the headquarters of security forces in Miranshah last night. The security forces retaliated with shelling of the area.

No one claimed responsibility for the attack.

#6  Pakistan has a population of 150 million with 600 000 men in the army and additional hundreds of thousands of police and paramilitary forces.

A few dead paramilitary (not even real army) soldiers will not cause any rethink.

The islamist terror is an instrument of Pak state policy. It cannot be turned off.
