Abducted Chinese nationals were offered security but they refused: interior ministry
[DAWN] New evidence has surfaced about the abduction and reported murder of two Chinese nationals by the murderous Moslem Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) group in Quetta, the interior ministry said on Friday.

The ministry has cancelled the visa of a South Korean national who it had earlier linked to the abduction incident.

The interior minister was earlier told that the Chinese couple had gone to Quetta and were engaged in preaching under the garb of learning Urdu from a Korean national, Juan Won Seo, who is the owner of ARK Info Tech.

It was revealed during the investigation, the ministry said on Friday, that South Korea Juan Won Seo alias Gilbert came to Pakistain on a business visa but set up an Urdu academy and was "engaged in illegal activities".

It also emerged during the investigation that the two Chinese nationals had been taken into police custody from Quetta's Kharotabad area some time ago and were informed about threat to their security.

"They were offered security but they refused to accept the offer," the ministry said.

Security and intelligence agencies are closely looking into the background of the incident and reviewing photos of the kidnapped pair released on social media so they could reach some conclusion and it could also be confirmed whether the Chinese nationals were actually killed or not, the statement said, quoting ministry sources.

China's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday said it would work with Pak authorities to investigate reports the two Chinese nationals were missionaries.

The pair, identified by authorities as Lee Zing Yang, 24, and Meng Li Si, 26, were kidnapped by gunnies pretending to be coppers on May 24 in Quetta. Last week, IS' Amaq propaganda agency claimed its members had killed them.
