Stolen radar seized
2006-08-04
LANDIKOTAL: The Khyber Agency political administration raided a house on Thursday, seizing stolen US radar equipment and arresting three suspects.
“A jirga tried to negotiate with the suspects but they responded with fire...”
The radar, which was meant for the US forces stationed at the Bagram airbase, was stolen during transit to Afghanistan. A jirga tried to negotiate with the suspects but they responded with fire. Later, the Khyber Rifles and Khasadar Force besieged the house of one Mairajuddin in the Zarga Khel area of Landikotal, seized the radar and arrested Daud, Gul Khair and Nahid.
