Unidentified gunmen kidnapped a former Governor of Afghanistan’s Herat province from Islamabad. Sayed Fazalullah Wahidi was in Islamabad with his family to get a visa for the UK. A police official said the Governor went with his grandson to a nearby market when he was kidnapped. The kidnappers left the child and took Wahidi away. Afghan Ambassador Hazrat Omar Zakhilwal expressed “serious concern” over the kidnapping of the Governor.
