Kidnapped security personnel are presented to the media by an outlawed militant group ‘Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan’ on the outskirts of Matta, an area of Pakistan’s Swat district, Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008. Militants paraded some 38 security personnel, who were abducted from a post in Pakistan’s troubled northwest Swat valley. Swat lies in a swath of northwestern Pakistan that has increasingly come under the sway of Islamic militants opposed to Pakistan’s alliance with Washington in the war with terrorist groups. (AP) |
