LANDI KOTAL, April 20: So far no clue has been found to the whereabouts of the two men kidnapped from Karamna area in Khyber Agency despite a lapse of three weeks.

Unidentified tribesmen from Brag-Karamna road in Zakhakhel area kidnapped a sub-engineer of Communication and Works department Ikramullah along with a government contractor Ferozdin on April 2, but since then they remained untraced.

The Landi Kotal political authorities were however able to recover the missing car of the contractor from Sra Vela in the remote Tirah valley a week ago.
