Bodies of Kidnapped Pakistani Police Found

Twenty-one of the twenty-three kidnapped Pakistani police were found dead, early Sunday.

One of the others was wounded and survived, by playing dead, while another escaped completely.

The wounded officer has been hospitalized, and is expected to recover.

They were kidnapped, on Thursday, during attacks on their bases, by the Taliban, in the Khyber Paktunkhwa province, near Peshawar.

Their bodies were found in the Jabai area of the Frontier Region, not far from where the attacks occurred.

Pakistan's government had given the Darra Adam Khel tribe until Monday to find the police, or face financial punishment.

Under Pakistani law, tribes can be held responsible for attacks which happen in their territory.
