Hundreds of Pakistani Students Missing after Convoy Disappears

Pakistani police have said that hundreds of students may have been abducted by militants after a convoy in which they were traveling failed to reach its destination.

The students, along with teachers and family, had been travelling in the Taliban stronghold of North Waziristan along the Afghan border when they disappeared. According to reports the convoy had included about 30 mini-buses and only two of those made it to the town of Bannu.

Students from the two mini-buses that escaped reported to police that they had been stopped by heavily armed men and that a large number of those in the vehicles had been kidnapped.

Taliban militants have been hitting back at Pakistan’s government and military following an offensive in the Swat valley that drove many of the militants out. That offensive came following a deadly bombing in Lahore that targeted police and security buildings. Many now believe the kidnappings in North Waziristan are yet another act by Pakistani Taliban in an effort to discredit the government.
