Pakistani militants kill 15 security officers

[Jason bourne]

DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Militants in Pakistan claim to have killed 15 security force members they kidnapped last month.

Pakistan Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan said Thursday the men had been shot and their bodies dumped in the North Waziristan tribal region close to the Afghan border.

The Pakistani army said it was investigating the claim.

The men were members of the Constabulary Corp, a paramilitary outfit active in the border region with Afghanistan.

The insurgents kidnapped the men on Dec. 22 during an attack on a Pakistani security base in the border region.

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani militants on Thursday killed 15 security force members they kidnapped last month close to the Afghan border, showing that not all insurgent factions are interested in reported peace talks with the government.

The mens' naked bodies were dumped in Shiwa town in the North Waziristan region, said local residents Sada-u-Alla and Salam Khan. Intelligence officials confirmed the men had been killed. The officials didn't give their names because they were not authorized to be identified in the media.

In a statement, the Pakistani Taliban said the slayings were in retaliation for an army operation on Jan. 1 in the region that killed several militants, including a prominent commander. It alleged that troops also killed a woman and arrested others, "something that was forbidden and illegitimate in Islam as well as against tribal traditions."

The slain men were members of the Constabulary Corp, a paramilitary outfit active in the border region with Afghanistan. The insurgents kidnapped them during a Dec. 22 attack on a Pakistani security base in the border region.

In recent months, some militant commanders and intelligence officials have claimed peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban, one of the largest and most deadly militant groups, were under way. But other Pakistani Taliban commanders have dismissed this, and sporadic attacks have continued.

Tribal leaders and analysts speculate that the group, which has been pounded by Pakistani army offensives and American missile strikes over the last few years, is riven with internal splits.

Why did they soldiers allow the terrorists to kidnap them though. Did they think that these savages would let them go? Should have fought these scums instead.

I'm not sure what would persuade Pakistani Generals, if not this, to crack down holistically on the militants with in Pakistan. The snakes in your backyard (LeT for India and Afghan Taliban for A'stan) are not just biting your neighbors, they've taken their own form (TTP) and are now biting your children.

Stop picking and choosing militant groups for CI, crackdown on all of them.
