Two US choppers, carrying American troops, reportedly intruded into the Pakistani tribal territory and landed at the Bange Dar village of North Waziristan Agency (NWA), bordering the Khost province in Afghanistan, and abducted three nomads in the night of January 5. However, Government officials and security authorities based in Miranshah denied violation of Pakistan’s airspace by the coalition forces. “We have our troops deployed along the border with Afghanistan but none of them reported any such violation by the foreign forces,” a military officer said. Major General Athar Abbas, Director-General of the Inter-Services Public Relations, denied reports about violation of Pakistan’s airspace by the US choppers. “No, I don’t have any kind of such report. I am in touch with senior military officials but none of them talked about this issue, which I am sure would not have taken place,” explained Abbas.

A top United Nations (UN) official was kidnapped and his driver was killed after his vehicle was ambushed in Quetta, capital of Balochistan, on February 2, Dawn reported. John Solecki, head of the UN High Commission for Refugees office in Quetta, was going to office from his nearby residence in the Chaman Housing Society when the gunmen in a car opened fire on his vehicle. Even as the driver was seriously wounded as their vehicle crashed into a wall, the gunmen abducted Solecki, who is an American national, at gunpoint. The UN official was reportedly without a police escort. The driver, Syed Hashim Hazara, later succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. Police said no group had claimed responsibility and there were no clues to the identity of the kidnappers. The Deputy Inspector General of Balochistan Police, Wazir Khan Nasir, said it was “too early to say who might be involved” in the abduction, but said authorities had extended adequate security to UN agencies in the area. Another Police official said: “We cannot rule out that Islamist militants were involved given their activities all over the country, especially in the northwest… But it is difficult to say which group may have been involved in the incident because there are many groups as well as the Taliban that are operating in the country.”
