Taliban behead Sikh youth they kidnapped in Pakistan In a shocking incident, the Pakistani Taliban have beheaded some Sikh youth, all of them Pakistani citizens. The incident is said to have taken place in the restive North West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan. But there are conflicting reports on the number of casualties. Indian government sources have told NDTV that three Sikh youth who were kidnapped earlier have been beheaded, but a Pakistan provincial minister has told NDTV that so far one body has been found. Speaking to NDTV, a minister in the North West Frontier Province in Pakistan Bashir Ahmed said, "According to the information we have, three Sikhs were kidnapped by the Taliban in the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) 15 days back. One of them was murdered by them and they sent his body to Peshawar." He added: "The other two people are with Taliban and we are trying to contact them but they have not made any demand for the release of these people. We have been trying since the last 15 days, but they have never asked for money or any other demand." "I am sorry for the incident. In Malakhand, you know, we recently arrested a person who said he murdered 15 Muslims. Taliban are doing like this and we hope to get full support of the people in getting rid of the Taliban." However, according to sources in Indian government, the Sikhs were beheaded and their heads were thrown into a common area to invoke fear among the locals. http://www.ndtv.com/news/world/taliban_behead_sikh_youth_in_ pakistan.php |
