Police still clueless about Ali Haider's whereabouts
2013-05-11
[Pak Daily Times] Even after launching a sweeping investigation, the police have not yet been able to find a clue of Ali Haider Gilani, the son of former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, who was kidnapped by gunnies at an election meeting. Ali Haider, who is contesting election from PP-200, was snatched soon after addressing a corner meeting in Farrukh Town in the limits of Seetal Marri Police Station. Witnesses said the gun-wielding attackers forced him into a car and were gone in no time, but before taking Ali Haider away, they bumped off his personal secretary Mohyuddin Bhutta and a bodyguard. According to sources, police were investigating this high-profile abduction case on these three lines: either it could be a result of personal vendetta; someone may have kidnapped him to rake in tons of ransom; or Taliban seized him to dent Pakistain People's Party's (PPP) election campaign. The Taliban have not grabbed credit for the kidnapping, but the group has targeted the PPP as well as other secular and religious parties throughout the election campaign.
