BAJAUR, Feb 2: Four daughters of a tribal chieftain were kidnapped from their house in the Sramina area, 20km of here.

Posing as relatives of the tribal chief, Malik Jamshed Khan, armed men entered the guest room of his house in his absence and told his family that they were his guests.

When Jamshed’s two minor daughters served tea to the men, they gave some money to them and asked them to come back with their sisters.

They enticed them away in a pick-up. The sisters, between six and 12 years of age, were named as Zainab, Zoliha, Kulsoom and Rabel.
