Sikhs rescued from Taliban clutches

Peshawar: Two Sikhs, abducted for ransom by the Taliban in the troubled Khyber tribal region bordering Afghanistan, were on Monday rescued by Pakistani security forces, a week after a Sikh trader was beheaded by the militant captors.

The operation was conducted in a remote area along the boundary between the Khyber and Aurakzai tribal regions on a tip-off from intelligence sources, a spokesman from the Inter-Services Public Relations said.

Surjeet Singh and Gurvinder Singh are safe, the spokesman said, adding that “many” militants were killed in the operation, but did not specify the number.
