"The Islamic Theocratic Republicof Afghanistan expresses its grave concern in connection with the kidnapping of Mr. Sayed Fazalullah Wahidi former governor of Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... Province, which took place yesterday afternoon in Islamabad, Pakistain," states a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday. "Given the fact that Mr. Wahidi was kidnapped in Pakistain, the Islamic Theocratic Republicof Afghanistan wants the Islamic Theocratic Republicof Pakistain to take immediate and serious action through its security agencies using all possibilities in identifying the kidnappers and to release of Mr. Wahidi." Afghanistan's Ambassador to Pakistain Hazrat Omar Zakhilwal has said that has been given assurance by Pak officials that the issue would be followed with utmost seriousness. Wahidi was with his grandson at a busy market place when gunnies kidnapped him. He had arrived in Islamabad along with his family for acquiring visas to UK from the British Embassy. Wahidi has served as the governor for eastern Kunar and western Herat provinces of Afghanistan. So far no group has grabbed credit for the kidnapping. |
