Children's Fund (Unicef) who were kidnapped in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... four days ago were recovered on Monday, officials said.
