| [Pak Daily Times] Vice chancellor (VC) of the Islamia College University Dr Ajmal Khan, and the cousin of Awami National Party (ANP) chief Asfandyar Wali Khan was kidnapped by unidentified gunnies on Tuesday, police and officials said. Campus Peace Corps (CPC) Superintendent of Police (SP) Ijaz Ahmed told Daily Times that Khan was kidnapped from the Professors' Colony area of the university campus at around 9am. He added that the VC, accompanied by his driver, was on his way to his office, when six gunnies stopped his vehicle and kidnapped him at gunpoint. The SP said that the gunnies took Khan towards Nasir Bagh. He said that the police was searching for the kidnappers, and so far the kidnappers had not contacted Khan's family. Ahmed said that Islamic fascisti were behind the VC's kidnapping and he probably had been shifted to Khyber Agency, which is close to the Nasir Bagh area. Khan is the second VC to be kidnapped during the ongoing militancy. He had been one of the senior most academicians of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, formerly NWFP, aka Terrorism Central. |
