Kidnapped priest escapes abductors
2004-05-19
Wilson Fazal, a Pakistani Pentecostal priest at a church in Quetta who disappeared on Sunday, escaped from his abductors and reached Islamabad on Tuesday morning. Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) MNA Asia Nasir said Father Wilson had called and told her that he was well and safe. She said Father Wilson escaped when his abductors were about to take him to Peshawar. Quetta Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police Pervez Bhatti said a police team has been sent to Islamabad to bring Father Wilson back to Quetta. He said the incident would be investigated. The DIG also said Father Wilson’s driver had seen him (Wilson) in a Suzuki pick-up after he was kidnapped. People in Quetta were suspicious of Father Wilson’s abduction and escape story, asking how it was possible that the abductors were using a Suzuki pick-up to kidnap the priest and take him to Peshawar.

#1  Anyone remember a few weeks back the story of a "hostage", an Iraqi-American? Stunk from the beginning. Family claimed the Arab News stations notified the family of the "Kidnapping". His mother and brother went on TV crying hysterically, (albeit without any tears) and begged for his release? How about fraud charges for the family if this is found to be "Made Up". Aghast!!!
