The Taliban militants detained a freelance journalist working for the Associated Press (AP) for shooting in the volatile tribal region in violation of a ban imposed by them in Miranshah of North Waziristan, reports The News. Taliban spokesman Ahmadullah Ahmadi said by phone from somewhere in North Waziristan that the reporter had been taken into ‘custody’ for violating the ban. He said the detained reporter identified himself as Mohammad Rashid and was working for AP, an American wire service. He said the 45-year-old journalist was arrested by a group of Taliban fighters while making video of motor bargain centres in the evening of December 27. He belongs to Rawalpindi, said Ahmadi. Miranshah is the hub of non-custom paid expensive cars smuggled into the area from Afghanistan. Dealers come from all over Pakistan and buy these vehicles and take them to other parts of the country. The Taliban spokesman said they seized a car, an expensive video camera and some other items from the detained journalist.
