PESHAWAR: A former Afghan governor kidnapped nearly two weeks ago in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad was freed on Friday after a shoot-out with police, he told AFP, saying he could not identify the men who abducted him. Sayed Fazlullah Wahidi said he was being transported by his kidnappers, blindfolded, when they were stopped at a police checkpoint in Mardan, near Pakistan’s northwestern city of Peshawar. Gunfire rang out, he said, and the three men holding him ran away. Speaking from the Afghan consulate in Peshawar, he said he did not know who snatched him from an upscale district in Islamabad on February 12. “The kidnappers did not talk about their demands and they did not put me in contact with my family,” the former Herat provincial governor told AFP.
