Research Desk, Institute for Conflict Management
On July 19, 2011, the Taliban released a video showing the execution of 16 Pakistani Policemen, captured during a raid on June 1, 2011, from the Upper Dir District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The video shows the Policemen lined up on a hillside, their hands tied behind their backs, standing in front of armed Taliban fighters wearing scarves to hide their faces. One of the fighters accuses the men of killing six children. The fighters then open fire, and after this systematically shoot each of the Policemen in the head.
Upper Dir District Police Officer (DPO) Mir Qasim Khan put the number of victims in the video at 18, disclosing further that they were Policemen and paramilitary Police personnel captured on June 1: "It was a pre-dawn attack and that's why most of them are not wearing uniforms." Pakistan Army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas added that the Policemen were captured when the Taliban staged an attack from Afghanistan in Pakistan's Upper Dir District.
