KOHAT, Jan 19: Two injured men, arrested in the case involving the kidnapping of some Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) officials, have said they were members of a Taliban group operating in Waziristan.
Sources said the two men belonged to the Khaliq and Sadiq Noor groups.
They had been given in the custody of the Karak Bureau of Investigation and might be shifted to Peshawar for further investigations, the sources said.
They mistook the PAEC officials for employees of some non-governmental organisation because the only signboard at the gate on the premises was that of the National Commission for Human Resource, the arrested men claimed.
A senior military official from Islamabad had also arrived in Banda Daudshah area of the Karak district to look into the incident.
