ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Ambassador to Afghanistan Tariq Azizuddin was feared kidnapped on Monday in the Northwest Frontier region along with his driver and security guard just before he was to cross into Afghanistan.
Mr. Azizuddin went missing near Jamrud on the Pakistan side of the border in the Khyber tribal agency.
Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammed Sadiq confirmed that Mr. Azizuddin was missing but refused to say whether he had been kidnapped.
Reports from the area said he had been out of contact since noon.
Mr. Sadiq said a search had been launched for Mr. Azizuddin.
Security concerns
The apparent kidnapping of the diplomat has sent shock waves in Pakistan, and heightened concerns of security for the February 18 election in the Northwest Frontier region.
