Eye-witnesses nail Pak Army's lie about arresting several Taliban in South Waziristan | Contrary to the Pakistani army's claim of reportedly having killed four militants and arresting several others during a raid on a private hospital in South Waziristan, the Taliban's stronghold, eyewitnesses said that those who have been taken into custody were not extremists but rather hospital staff. According to a Pakistani security official, acting on a tip-off
about wounded militants being admitted to a local hospital, troops raided the
hospital and killed four extremists besides apprehending several others. "Commandos
and security forces raided the hospital. Militants fired on the troops and in
the gunfight, which lasted more than four hours, four militants and a woman were
killed, while 27 others were arrested," the official said. However, eyewitnesses
told the BBC that "those arrested included hospital staff and patients with no
apparent links to the Taliban." The militants who were killed are believed to
be of Arab and Sudanese origin. The hospital situated in Wana, is said to be owned
by an influential cleric and former parliamentarian, Maulana Noor Mohammad, who
has close ties with the JUI(F), Pakistan's main religious party. |
