Son of slain Pak governor abducted
The son of former Pakistani governor Salman Taseer, who was killed in January for opposing controversial Islamic blasphemy laws, was abducted by gunmen in Lahore yesterday, police said.
Shahbaz Taseer, who had been given police protection, was abducted from a wealthy neighbourhood of Lahore while on his way to work.
Police couldn't confirm the motive behind the abduction.
Police officials said Taseer's family had been repeatedly threatened to withdraw the murder case against the police bodyguard accused of his killing.
