If they handed over by Afghan army than it surely wasn't AT who attacked us....

But it still not clear who handed them over to Pakisan consulate. From ANA commander's statement it looks like ANA handed over 10 Pakistani soldiers.
 
This is the latest story on AFP.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan, June 16, 2010 (AFP) - More than 50 Pakistani soldiers went missing after an attack by Taliban militants on a check post in a northwest tribal area near the Afghan border, officials said Wednesday.

Taliban rebels stormed Gwar Pari post in Mohmand tribal district on Sunday and claimed that seven paramilitary soldiers were killed, a security official said.

"The post, located very close to the border, was manned by 65 soldiers and so far 11 have established contacts with us," he said adding that the "others remained unaccounted for."

A Taliban spokesman on Sunday said its fighters killed seven soldiers and captured 10.

But the official refused to confirm the Taliban claims, saying that "we have not seen the bodies."

Afghan authorities said 10 Pakistani soldiers, one of them wounded, had entered Kunar province over the past few days. "We handed them to the Pakistan consulate in Jalalabad," Afghan border police commander Mohammad Afzal said.

"It is very likely that some soldiers might have crossed into Afghanistan because the post is just at the border," a senior security official said.

A local administration official said around 54 soldiers were believed to be missing.

Of the 65 troops manning the post, 11 had returned and 54 were still missing the official speaking on condition of anonymity told AFP.
 
:) I already shared the information. The attack did take place and ANA led the TTP people

But the report clearly says that Afghani taliban carried out the attack. no mention of Ana?

The Afghani Taliban did not attack, rather TTP people backed by ANA and elements from Afghanistan attack,

None of the captured ones have been kept in Pakistan,


The statement of Afghan Govt is evident of the fact
 
But the report clearly says that Afghani taliban carried out the attack. no mention of Ana?
Then please explain how come ANA handed them over......

or AT handed them over to ANA and then ANA handed them over to Pakistan.

I dont think ANA and AT have such close relation.
