The Taliban abducted two Frontier Corps troops after a firefight in Khyber. ‘Unknown gunmen’ fired on a bus transporting Shia school children; the driver was killed and two children were wounded, and five more were kidnapped. A large, well-armed Taliban force is present in Karachi, according to a police report.
