The News reports that unidentified militants kidnapped an Afghan government official from Chitral Valley at a time when police are already on their toes to find out three other kidnapped Afghan nationals, including an Afghan envoy, younger brother of finance minister of the neighbouring country and a professor of the Aryana University in Jalalabad. Akhtar Kohistani, an adviser to the Afghan Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD), was abducted from the remote Chitral Valley late on November 2-night. He had arrived in the town the same day to see his in-laws. A police official told The News that armed men abducted Kohistani from the house of one of his relatives, located in Seerdoor Kadak village of Darosh Valley. No one has so far claimed responsibility for the kidnapping. Akhtar Kohistani is a close relative of Member of the National Assembly from Chitral, Shahzada Mohiuddin. Police suspect the kidnappers might have come after the Afghan official from his own country. Chitral shares a long border with Afghanistan’s Nuristan province. Kohistani, who is the fourth high-profile Afghan national kidnapped from the Frontier province or adjacent tribal areas during the past 45 days. Earlier, Afghanistan’s ambassador-designate to Pakistan, Abdul Khaliq Farahi was abducted by four armed men from Hayatabad Township, Peshawar on September 22, 2008. On October 31, unidentified gunmen abducted Ziaul Haq, younger brother of the Afghan finance minister, Anwarul Haq Ahady.

According to Daily Times, the government released three Taliban prisoners, including Baitullah Mehsud’s deputy Maulvi Rafiuddin, while the Taliban released 10 soldiers taken hostage in Hangu district of NWFP on November 5, official sources said on November 6. Sources said the exchange, which took place at Thal tehsil (revenue division) of Hangu district, was made possible by the efforts of the Hangu Aman Jirga (council) in facilitating talks between the local administration and the Taliban. The Taliban released seven soldiers, including Hawaldar Tanveer, Ghulam Mustafa, Imran, Rizwan, Imran Ali, Mohammad Nisar and Arshad, and three Kurram Militia personnel, Shahid, Subhan and Dawar. The three Taliban released were among the seven arrested by the Hangu police in Daoba area on July 9. The Taliban had besieged the Daoba Police Station in retaliation and taken 15 security force personnel hostage. The release of the three men had been a key Taliban demand since their arrest in July. Earlier in September, Rafiuddin and the other two Taliban were released on bail by an anti-terrorism court in Kohat but were re-arrested under the Frontier Crimes Regulation for failing to give security for good behaviour. The release was negotiated after tribal elders said Rafiuddin’s release would help restore peace in the troubled region.

Earlier, a pamphlet carrying a message purportedly written by Qari Zainuddin Mehsud, the chief of Abdullah Mehsud’s Group, were distributed in Wana.
