PARACHINAR, July 17: Armed men attacked a convoy of trucks, kidnapped 10 people and set six vehicles on fire on Thall-Parachinar Road
Sources said that the convoy was going from Parachinar to the south. It was intercepted near Charkhel village by gunmen who kidnapped 10 drivers and cleaners, injured two people and set the vehicles on fire.
Officials said the incident might have been a reaction to an attack on a passenger van near Parachinar on Saturday in which 10 people, including women and children, were killed and three others injured. They said 40 people had been arrested.
It may be mentioned that security forces are conducting an operation in central Kurram to flush out militants.
Security forces have imposed a curfew for an indefinite period in Tarali and Dogar area of central Kurram.
