Rejecting the allegations levelled by the TTP, ISPR spokesperson said that the allegations against the security forces are false, further stating that it was a baseless propaganda by the TTP.
Baseless allegations
Earlier, security officials had also denied that they killed any TTP member in their custody. Calling the TTP’s allegations baseless, one security official had said it was mere “propaganda to justify dastardly acts of terror”.
The Mohmand Agency chapter of the TTP had claimed that it has killed 23 Frontier Corps (FC) men taken captive earlier to avenge the “killing of Taliban prisoners in the government’s custody”.
According to media reports, Umar Khorasani of the TTP Mohmand Agency had claimed in a statement released on February 16 that the 23 FC men had been kidnapped along with seven other officials from the Shongrai checkpost on June 14, 2010.
