The local Taliban stopped the convoy of security forces from entering Mingora by surrounding it from all sides. –: As the peace deal with militants in Swat garners criticism, the local Taliban in the restive valley stopped a military convoy from entering Mingora city in the south of the district on Saturday, sources said.
‘The local Taliban stopped the convoy of security forces from entering Mingora by surrounding it from all sides,’ a source told DawnNews, on condition of anonymity.
Hours later, the convoy was forced to turn back.
Later, in reaction, military authorities issued a statement condemning the incident.
They warned that if such a situation developed again, the armed forces would not hesitate to use force.
