The body of one of six tribal elders, kidnapped two days back from the Ghlu Chena area, was recovered in Ghiljo in Orazkzai Agency on Tuesday.




Sources said the throat-slit body of the tribal elder identified as Jannat Khan, apparently abducted by militants, was recovered from Ghiljo area in Orakzai. Tribal sources said the 75-year-old deceased was kidnapped along with five other elders a couple of days back.



Zar Jan, the son of the slain tribal chieftain, told reporters that they had no enmity with anyone and killing a harmless old man was a cruel and inhuman act. He asked the government to take action against the killers of his father. Five other elders were still missing. There was no clue that who kidnapped them, though suspicion fell on the militants.
