Abducted journalist released

ISLAMABAD—Kidnapped BBC Urdu service reporter Dilawar Khan Wazir has been released, a day after he went missing in Pakistan.
Mr Khan turned up shaken but unharmed in the BBC office in the capital, Islamabad, on Tuesday evening. He said he had been held by a number of men since mid-afternoon on Monday but did not know their identity.
His disappearance prompted the BBC to write to the Pakistan government, which said it could not confirm whether he was in their custody.
Journalists walked out from Senate press gallery to voice their protest against disappearance of BBC reporter Dilawar Wazir and non arrest of murderers of Ismail Malik.
They demanded that instead of passing 48 hours nobody knows about Dilawer Wazir and the murderers of Ismail Malik could not arrested so far.—Agencies
