Frustrated with government, Pakistani man turns to Taliban for help.
PESHAWAR, Pakistan Mon Dec 16, 2013 7:15am EST


(Reuters) - Frustrated with the government's inability to help him, a man in Pakistan has appealed to Taliban warlords to rescue his 11-year-old son kidnapped by criminals more than a month ago.

"I knocked on the door of each and every government official but no one gave me justice to recover my only son," Fareed Khan told Reuters in the volatile northwestern city of Peshawar.

"Now the Taliban are my last hope. I believe they will recover my son. The Taliban are good Muslims and good human beings. They don't demand bribes for the provision of justice."

Most people in Pakistan's insurgency-plagued northwestern regions live in fear of Taliban insurgents who stage frequent attacks against security forces and civilians as part of their campaign to topple central government and impose Islamist rule.

Khan, 45, said he had no other choice in his quest to rescue his son, Furqan Fareed, who was kidnapped on November 5 in the city of Bannu.

Bannu is near North Waziristan, an ethnic Pashtun region on the Afghan border where many al-Qaeda-linked Taliban fighters are based. State security forces have next to no presence there.

Government officials were not available for comment.

Khan said his son suffered from epilepsy and feared that he might die. He added: "Now my wife, my three daughters and I publicly appeal to the Pakistani Taliban to recover my son."

Shame on the police, this is their duty not anyone else's

No group should take on the responsisbility of the Police.

It dosent matter who does it at the end of the day i hope this guy finds his son, if the Taliban can do it then Good

This is similar to what happened in Swat too.

Ask Malala and little girls as to what happens when Tali-barbarians come to "help".

 

[A.Rafay]

Maybe its the taliban who have kidnapped his son?

 

[JanjaWeed]

A desperate man in need of desperate help. Can't blame him... Hope he gets to see his son again safe & sound!

Well most kidnapped people from settled areas of KP/Peshawar are taken to the tribal areas where the Taliban hold sway. So this is a logical request. Most likely its one of the aligned TTP groups that are holding the chap.
