Pakistan seeks tribal elders’ help to rescue 23 missing police
Pakistani authorities have asked tribal elders to help rescue 23 policemen who were kidnapped by the Taliban. The tribal policemen went missing Thursday after militants attacked two posts in Pakistan's northwest tribal region. Two policemen were killed. Authorities will meet with tribal elders in the two villages in the Darra Adam Khel tribal region, government administrator Naveed Akbar Khan said Friday. The elders could be punished for attacks that occurred in their areas, according to a tribal law. Security forces have launched an operation to recover the policemen.
