Pakistan’s Nuclear Technicians Kidnapped
By Annie Jacobsen in category U.S. Homeland Security
Not very promising. Unless you're on Al Qaeda's team. From Yahoo:
Two employees of Pakistan's atomic energy agency have been abducted in the country's restive north-western region abutting the Afghan border.
Police say the technicians went missing on the same day as Pakistan's ambassador to Afghanistan, Tariq Azizuddin, was reportedly abducted in the same region. Mr Azizuddin had been going overland from the city of Peshawar to Kabul.
The workers from Pakistan's Atomic Energy Commission were on a mission to map mineral deposits in the mountains when they were kidnapped.
