Nine Swat teenagers are feared to have been kidnapped by suspected militants “to be trained as suicide bombers”.
Of the nine, four teenagers from the Taran, Gharo, and Aligram areas have gone missing from the hostel of the Excellence Academy of Education, Kabal. The Kabal police have registered an FIR. Three of the missing boys were from Aligram and one each were from Taran and Kalu Dagai. Sher Hassan, the father of Obaidullah, a missing boy, told Daily Times that his son had been missing since March 13 when he left for Hadassah Jama Darul Uloom Sharifabad, Swat. “He is not attending his cell-phone,” Sher Hassan added.
Police officials say they fear that militants have kidnapped the boys to use them for subversive activities. Meanwhile, Anjumaan Nijaat, a Lahore resident, has brought three youths who went missing in the metropolis back to Swat. |
