Via Dawn - CHITRAL: Fifty armed persons, believed to be Afghan Taliban, kidnapped 10 labourers from a forest near Kalash valley of Bumburate here on Saturday night.
Police sources told Dawn that the group of masked men kidnapped the labourers from the forest where they had been staying for the last one month to harvest the forest on commercial scale.
All the labourers belong to Dhoke Dara village of Upper Dir district. A local contractor Haji Mohammad Khan had hired the services of 60 labourers for harvesting the forest. Some of the labourers told police that the kidnappers were in great hurry as they could take only 10 of them after searching the two rooms.
The incident took place at 11pm on Saturday but the labourers could report to Ayun police station only the next day due to the remoteness of the area, a police officer said.
The consequent delay in police action helped the kidnappers cross into Afghanistan.
The police officer alluded that revenge could be behind the incident as the people of Dhoke Dara had raised an armed lashkar last year to flush out the Taliban from their area.
The kidnapped persons were identified as Mohmmad Zaman, Misal Khan, Mohammad Rasul, Sherzada, Naeem Khan, Bakhtawar Khan, Khoedad Khan, Umer Khan, Sher Alam and Mohammad Zada.
In last Ramazan last year, the Afghan Taliban had kidnapped a Greek national, Athunasius, from his residence in Bumburate valley.
