Pakistan's ambassador to Afghanistan has been released more than three months after he was kidnapped in Pakistan's Khyber tribal region. A senior government official has confirmed reports broadcast on Pakistani television channels. Tariq Azizuddin disappeared on February 11 along with his driver and bodyguard as they drove from the Pakistani city of Peshawar toward the Afghan border. In a video broadcast a month ago on an Arab satellite channel, Azizuddin said he was being held by Taliban militants. No details have been released about how or when he was freed.
