ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Taliban have kidnapped four Pakistani paramilitary forces in the town of Makeen in the tribal agency of South Waziristan. Makeen is the last reported location of Pakistani Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud, who has privately claimed credit for Benazir Bhutto’s assassination.
The four Pakistani paramilitary soldiers of the South Waziristan Scouts were kidnapped after the Taliban attacked the Ladha Fort near the town of Makeen. The Taliban “seized the soldiers as they descended from their observation post on a hill near Makeen in South Waziristan,” AFP reported. “The rebels launched rocket and mortar attacks on a military base near Ladda town from rugged terrain bordering Afghanistan,” a security official told the news organization.”
