11 Pakistani teachers kidnapped during polio campaign released: officials Posted: 26 Nov 2013 05:05 AM PST By Jibran Ahmed PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Militants released on Tuesday 11 teachers who had been kidnapped in Pakistan's lawless northwest during a polio vaccination campaign last week, local officials said. The teachers were seized by Islamist militants on November 21 from a school in the Khyber tribal agency, one of the semi autonomous tribal areas along border with Afghanistan.
