French national held in Khyber Agency
By our correspondentBARA: The law-enforcement agencies during a search operation here Thursday arrested a French national of Moroccan origin, Mohammad Sufiyan, son of Mohammad Ibrahim, from Mali Talab village of Bara subdivision in Khyber Agency, official sources told The News.
The sources said they recovered a French passport from the detained foreigner and shifted him to a secret location for interrogation. Pleading anonymity, a security official said the foreign national was held in Mali Talab village near Akakhel in Bara subdivision. He said they could not understand the language of the French national.
We are conducting our investigation on different aspects. First we would like to know if he was kidnapped for ransom or involved in drug- trafficking. The third aspect of our investigation is to probe whether he has any links with terrorists, explained the official.
Meanwhile, the security forces during the search operation demolished houses of three wanted militant commanders at Spin Qabar Chowk in Bara. The officials said that houses of Hazrat Mohammad, who was killed earlier during clashes with the security forces, Nek Mohammad and Azim Afridi, were demolished.
