KABUL (Pajhwok): Kidnapped two years ago, a minor has been rescued by Taliban forces and reunited with his family.
Ahmadullah Wasiq, the Taliban’s deputy spokesman, Abdul Rauf Balkhi was freed on Saturday and handed over to his family by Deputy Prime Minister Maulvi Abdul Salam Hanafi.
The child was reunited with his family at a special ceremony in northern Balkh province. He had been kidnapped in Mazar-i-Sharif two years on his way to school.
The child’s family had since received multiple videos and audio messages from the captors, seeking $1.2 million in ransom.
