2008-09-30 |
(AKI) - By Syed Saleem Shahzad - Afghanistan's kidnapped ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Khaliq Farahi, has been released, informed sources told AKI. Farahi returned to the northern city of Peshawar late on Monday, the sources said. No further details were available as Pakistani Government officials declined to comment on Farahi's release. Farahi was kidnapped by unidentified gunmen a week ago in Peshawar, in volatile North West Frontier Province. His driver was killed in the ambush. No group claimed Farahi's abduction, which took place in the upscale Hayatabad area of Peshawar. |
