| Three Taliban were killed on Wednesday when a roadside bomb they were planting exploded in Chamkanai area of Swat, police said. "An improvised explosive device went off as three Taliban tried to plant it alongside a road in Chamkanai. The three died on the spot," police official Jan Bahadur said. Meanwhile, Taliban said they had released 12 students who were kidnapped on suspicion of spying for the government. The students, aged between 19 and 20, were seized on Tuesday. Swat Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan told AFP: "These students were spying for the security forces. We released five students yesterday (Tuesday). The remaining seven were released today (Wednesday) after their parents personally assured us that these students will not indulge in spying for the security forces." Local police chief Dilawar Bangash confirmed to AFP that the group had been kidnapped. Separately, Khan claimed responsibility for killing a police officer in Cheharbagh area of Swat. The officer's beheaded body was found dumped on Wednesday morning. Three other officers who were seized with him four days ago were still being held. Khan said the three would suffer the same fate unless 122 Taliban were released. According to APP, unidentified miscreants detonated a remote-controlled bomb planted close to a house in Bawbar area in Upper Dir district. However, no casualty was reported. |

| #1 This story is incorrect. It was not three Taliban planting a bomb but six children digging roots for their poor families. And they were killed by missiles from an evil American drone. |
