Published: December 23, 2011
PESHAWAR: Militants killed one security official and reportedly kidnapped 19 in an attack on security forces in the Mullazai area north of the Tank district near the South Waziristan tribal area on Friday.
According to sources, the incident took place at around 2:30 am.
“The men were from the Frontier Constabulary,” an official said while confirming that 19 people were missing who were “probably taken captive” he said.
The exact number of militants could not be determined. The attack was launched on Mullzai Fort, a guarded fortress used to bombard militant hideouts with artillery shelling during operations, which confirmed that a large number of people must have attacked the secure installation.
Sources also said that the initial number of FC personnel missing after the attack was 23 but seven of them had returned back safely.
The Frontier Constabulary, part of the security forces usually placed in the frontier region areas, monitor zones between the tribal and the settled areas. There were no casualties of militants reported.
A search operation was subsequently launched and a large number of security personnel were deployed in the area, however there are chances that the men were taken to the tribal areas.
No one has claimed responsibility for the incident, but it is believed that Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), who attacked FC recruits earlier this year in twin suicide blasts that left 69 dead, may be involved.
