TANK, Feb 25: Two trailers carrying pick-ups were hijacked from the Indus Highway near Pizu area in the Lakki Marwat district on Saturday night, sources said on Sunday.

The sources said a driver, Mukamal Shah Afridi, sustained bullet injuries when he resisted the hijackers and he had been taken to a hospital in Dera Ismail Khan.

Officials said armed men hijacked the two containers carrying six pick-ups from Karachi to Peshawar. They drove the containers towards Jandola but the vehicles could not enter a narrow tunnel in Kari Wam area.

The gunmen offloaded the pick-ups from the containers and took them away.

More than 15 loaded vehicles have been snatched on the Indus Highway in the district during the past three weeks.

Officials said some gunmen also took away a pick-up from the office of the Pakistan Telecommunication Company in Tank with driver Dam Saz.

In another incident, armed men entered the office of the on-farm water management department in the city, locked watchman Allauddin and Sub-Engineer Waheedullah in a washroom, and took away a pick-up truck, a computer and a fax machine.—Correspondent
