Salman Taseer's son Shahbaz kidnapped from Lahore
2011-08-26
The son of a Pak governor who was killed by his bodyguard for his opposition to a harsh blasphemy law this year was kidnapped in the eastern city of Lahore on Friday, police and the family said.

Four men on cycle of violences intercepted Shahbaz Taseer in his car in the upscale Gulberg area and took him to a nearby street before kidnapping him, police said, quoting witnesses.

Shahbaz's aunt Ayesha Tammy Haq, lawyer and columnist, has filed a petition in the court, DawnNews reported.

Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik
Pak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Näwaz Shärif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men.
has said that the recovery of Shahbaz Taseer is going to be a big challenge for the Punjab Police.

"Shahbaz was out with a friend when four unidentified people kidnapped him," his brother Shehryar Taseer told Rooters.

Shahbaz Taseer is a director in several companies his father founded, including Pace Pakistain Ltd., First Capital Equities Ltd., Media Times Ltd. and First Capital Securities Corp. Ltd.

"Our family has been receiving threats from the Taliban and krazed killer groups," Shehryar said, adding they could be behind the abduction.
