According to Daily Times, suspected militants abducted nine government officials, including six women, at gunpoint on the Bannu-Miranshah highway in North Waziristan, officials said on May 19. Official sources said that more than 30 masked gunmen stopped the government officials’ vehicle near Nawrak, 15 kilometers east of Miranshah and near Mir Ali town, the headquarters of North Waziristan. “The officials were coming from Peshawar on a special survey mission to assess development projects in the region. They were accompanied by guards who could do little to protect them,” the officials said. The militants took away wireless communication equipment and six Kalashnikov rifles from the six guards. No group has claimed responsibility but the local administration blamed “disgruntled elements” among the militant groups.

The pro-Taliban Lal Masjid (Red mosque) students on May 24 freed the two police personnel abducted on May 18, following the release of several of their colleagues as a result of ‘back channel’ negotiations between clerics of the mosque and the local administration, according to Dawn. Spokesperson of the interior ministry, Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema, however, claimed that the two personnel of Islamabad Police — Assistant Sub-Inspector Aurangzeb and constable Jehangir — were released ‘unconditionally’. “They have not been released on a reciprocal basis,” he claimed. Lal Masjid students on May 18 held hostage four police personnel, Assistant Sub-Inspector Aurangzeb, constables Yasir Shah, Iftikhar Ahmed and Raja Jahangir, accusing them of spying for the government. Two of them were released on May 20. Maulana Abdul Rashid Ghazi, deputy in-charge of Lal Masjid, said the government had not released those whose list had been provided to the local administration, including three students and former Inter-Services Intelligence official Khalid Khawaja booked for allegedly burning audio/video CDs in the Barakhau residential area in April 2007. He said that the policemen had been freed on the request of their family members who visited the mosque on May 23.

Militants in South Waziristan are reported to have abducted around 150 Pakistan Army personnel and shifted them to their hideouts in the mountains on August 30, The News reported. They laid siege to two Pakistan Army convoys which were on their way from Wana and Shakai to Ladha subdivision. When the convoys reached Shawangi Narray, 40 kilometres north of Wana, South Waziristan’s regional headquarters, the militants accused them of violating the Sara Rogha peace accord, signed between the government and Taliban on February 9, 2005, under which, according to tribal militants, security forces were have to withdraw from the areas inhabited by the Mehsud tribesmen. Both the convoys comprised 16 vehicles in which around 150 soldiers were travelling. However, military spokesperson Major General Waheed Arshad said "Sometimes soldiers cannot reach their destination in time due to either bad weather or other reasons… We hope they will return to their camp tomorrow morning, there is no suggestion of kidnapping or fighting."
