The Chinese, who have been going whole hog to help Pakistan in its economic development, suffered terrorist strikes in very suspicious circumstances.A bus carrying a group of Chinese engineers and technicians working on the key Gwadar port was attacked fatally when the Balochistan province was humming with reports of dollars flying freely to recruit its raw youth at the price of $10,000 per head by some mysterious forces. Earlier, two Chinese engineers working on the construction of Gomal Dam were kidnapped by Abdullah Mehsud, a militant who despite being a Pakistani national was inexplicably released from the US Guantanamo prison in Afghanistan, from where after quite a time he surfaced in Pakistan. This kidnapping was his first act after return to the country. One Chinese engineer was killed in the escape attempt while the other luckily made his escape. |
