Militant held in Hangu



The police claimed to have arrested a militant and seized five threatening letters from his possession at Jawazra checkpoint on Friday. Talking to reporters, SHO Islam Din said the police stopped a passenger coach at Jawazra checkpoint during a routine checking.


The police during body search recovered threatening letters from a man identified as Attiqur Rehman, resident of Kaghazo area in Kohat district. “Five letters were recovered from him, which were written to five separate persons to pay Rs1.5 each,” the SHO said, adding that the identity of the persons could not be disclosed. He said the suspected person had links with the militants.

Meanwhile, a banned outfit claimed responsibility for the killing of father, nephew and guard of the former union council nazim Pir Amir Faisal on January 23. The group through leaflets circulated in the area said that the former nazim Pir Amir Faisal was still on the hit-list for running non-governmental organisation in the district. It warned those running the NGOs in the district would meet the same fate.
