Peace committee chief kidnapped
LANDI KOTAL (Khyber Agency), Aug 13: Bara Peace Committee chief Mulana Ahmad Khan has been kidnapped. The committee’s spokesman Mustamin Khan told journalists in Bara that the maulana had been missing for the past two days. He said unknown people had called the maulana on his cellphone and sought a meeting with him.
Sources said some people had taken the committee’s chief in a car from his house in Shalobar on Thursday night and he had been missing since then.
The committee’s members held a meeting on Friday and informed elders of all the seven local tribes of Bara about the kidnapping.
