This is with reference to the regional editorial Abduction of doctors that was printed in your editorial pages on 14 October 2010. This is an alarming trend that the Taliban are now targeting individual civilians like this. It is also very sad that this grave issue is getting very little coverage in the mainstream press as this was the first prominent piece I have seen on it. This issue should not be taken lightly. I think the people in our country find it hard to empathise with the plight of their countrymen till the same fate befalls them. This war is too close to home for all of us now and we should demand our government what cost will we be paying for it?
