Journalist released after kidnap
[Dawn] Gunmen released a journalist Friday a day after he was kidnapped in one of Pakistain's tribal areas on the Afghan border, a relative said.
"Armed men released Lal Wazir and dropped him near Azam Warsak Bazar today," his uncle Ibrahim Wazir told AFP.
Lal Wazir, 38, who works for a local newspaper in the South Wazoo town of Azam Warsak, was taken from a shop by six masked gunnies on Thursday.
"Lal is currently unable to speak to anybody but he arrived back home in safety," his uncle added.
A local official confirmed the release. Nobody has grabbed credit for the kidnapping.
