Re: Fighters ‘snatch Pakistan troops’
I read this in the morning… Dawn is saying 25- voer 100 kidnapped…
But to ADD TO THE CONFUSION, THERE IS THIS from Geo… Security men were protected by Mahsud tribe due to a bridge being out??? Bizarre.
Security men protected by Mahsud tribes : Saleh Shah
WANA: Senator Maulana Saleh Shah of South Waziristan said that about 150 soldiers, included in two contingents of the security forces going from Wana and Shakai to Ladha have been stopped due to damaged bridge on the way and the Mahsud tribes have provided them protection.
Senator Saleh Shah told Geo news that the Mahsud tribes have provided protection to about 150 security personnel in the area consists of wide forests.
He said that there were misunderstandings due to closure of the road at the damaged bridge in Sarwangai and the security men were not kidnapped or made hostage.
Still not sure how the BBC got the 300 number? How the heck can 300 armed men be kidnapped?
