Militants kidnap four soldiers

Suspected pro-Taliban militants on Tuesday kidnapped four soldiers from Razmak in North Waziristan, officials said. "The four soldiers were going on holidays and were snatched from a privately hired car near Noor Alam checkpost by unidentified gunmen," a local official told AFP.
"A search had been launched for the kidnapped soldiers," he said. Nobody claimed responsibility for the abduction but pro-Taliban militants were believed to be behind it, the official said.
