Taliban attack: Imran Khan condemns killing of 15 soldiers in Orakzai
Published: January 10, 2012
LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan condemned the brutal attack by the Taliban that killed 15 Frontier Constabulary personnel in the Orakzai agency.
The bodies of the soldiers sustaining 40 bullet holes each and signs of torture were recovered from North Waziristan and the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the killings terming it a consequence of the January 1 military operation in Khyber Agency. The security personnel had been in the custody of the militants for over a year kidnapped on December 22, 2010, when several militants attacked the Mullazai Fort in the Tank district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) bordering South Waziristan.
Khan said that this act of terrorism was not only a murder of 15 individuals but also a grave tragedy for those belonging to the unfortunate families of these men, who sacrificed their lives for Pakistans security.
The PTI chairman stated that Taliban groups are doing a huge disservice to Islam by taking law in their own hands.
Examples set by our prophet (PBUH) and his followers strictly forbid killing another human being and teach forgiveness, Khan said.
Khan reiterated that societies where there is no rule of law, barbaric acts like murder of innocent men go unpunished.
The leaders of this country have no regard for law and this has created a culture where the weak and the underprivileged become victims of those with power, Khan said.
The PTI chairman expressed deep sorrow for the bereaved families and offered condolences and prayed for the dead officers.
Khan assured them that once in power, PTI will not spare anybody flouting justice and will ensure that every citizen of Pakistan is protected from acts of terrorism.

Has the leadership of any of the other political parties condemned the abduction and cold-blooded murder of the FC soldiers?
