 Suspected Taliban distributed pamphlets in Bajaur Agency declaring beggars, vendors and cattle sellers as US spies and ordering restrictions on their movement in the area, subject to punishment. The pamphlets stated that there are US spies disguised as beggars and cattle sellers in the area, “who will be punished if caught after April 20”. “No one will be allowed to participate in un-Islamic activities,” said the pamphlets that did not mention the name of any organisation. Reportedly, suspected Taliban have also pasted posters at mosques in Sadiqabad and Inayat villages, asking beggars, vendors and cattle sellers to end their businesses by April 20 or face the consequences. |
