Militants storm Khasadar checkpost
2008-10-24
BARA: The personnel of the paramilitary Khasadar Force ran for their life as militants driving in two vehicles stormed their checkpost in Sakhi Bridge area in the wee hours of Thursday and abducted five people including one of their colleagues.

Over a dozen militants driving two double cabin pick-ups attacked the Khasadar checkpost on Sakhi Bridge, located on the border between Peshawar city and Jamrud tehsil of Khyber agency.

“The personnel on duty ran immediately after spotting two vehicles speeding towards their check post,” an eyewitness told The News, adding that the fleeing personnel of the Khasadar Force took shelter in the surrounding houses.

However, the source added that the militants took away with them a guard, an employee of the mineral department and an official of the paramilitary Khasadar Force along with his two companions who were allegedly loading smuggled flour in their truck at that time.

Luckily Muslim Khan, a police constable, who was already in the custody of the militants, jumped from the vehicle of the militants and escaped. Muslim Khan got his both legs fractured in the incident.

#4  "Checkpost"?

Is this some strange chimera that's half checkpoint and half outpost?

#3  A somewhat OT thought : shouldn't the India-pakistan category be breaken up in "India-Kashmire" and "pakistan"? As it is now, it's kinda like lumping the aggressor and the aggressed together, not to mention that sometimes, it's counter-intuitive to know if a given "lurid crime tales" or something in the lines happened in Inida or in pakiland.
