PESHAWAR, Sept 19 (AFP): Pro-Taliban militants abducted seven troops from a checkpost in northwest Pakistan in the latest kidnapping to rock the Pakistani military, officials said Wednesday.
The Islamist insurgents surrounded the post at Tall in North West Frontier Province late Tuesday and abducted seven soldiers from the paramilitary Frontier Constabulary, senior police official Mirza Khan said.
"The soldiers informed their base that a large number of militants have surrounded their post," he told AFP, adding that the rebels took them away before reinforcements could reach the area.
