Six shops gutted

Published January 31, 2002

PESHAWAR, Jan 30: Unidentified miscreants set ablaze six shops, full of smuggled goods, in the Inayat Killey locality of Bajaur Agency on Tuesday night.

Ishaq Khan, an Afghan refugee and owner of the shops, had been receiving threats from unidentified callers for quite sometime because of his links with a Northern Alliance commander vis-a-vis the local tribesmen who had entered Afghanistan to take part in ‘Jihad’ and gone missing after the collapse of the Taliban.

Hundreds of tribesmen, who entered Afghanistan in October and November are still missing.
