 An Afghan couple, Dr Azizullah and his second wife Feroza, are missing since the last five months. The last time the couple contacted their family in Peshawar, they were in Kabul.

The suicidal Afghan couple’s whereabouts are still unknown, though unconfirmed reports said that they had committed a suicide attack in Afghanistan some months ago. “There are unofficial reports that the couple has already committed suicide near the Pule-Charkhi prison outside Kabul, for which we are looking for evidence,” said an official familiar with the case and its investigation, adding that the case would be closed if evidence were found.

The Taliban had delivered a CD to the couple’s family, in which they had been advised by Dr Aziz and his wife to not search for them, as they would ‘reunite’ with them ‘in heaven’. Dr Aziz, a medical graduate from Afghanistan, was a ‘tableeghi’, but no clue was found to suggest that he was a Taliban member or inspired by the Islamic militia’s war against the US-led forces in Afghanistan.

He has had three daughters from his first wife, but decided to remarry when no son was born to him. He has no children from his second wife.

Pakistani security agencies are searching for information as to whether or not the Taliban were inspiring Pak-Afghans to become suicide bombers. A family member said Dr Aziz had grown a beard and wore a turban that the ‘tableeghis’, or preachers, normally wear. |
