Pakistani envoy to Kabul goes missing in Khyber

Pakistan's ambassador to Afghanistan went missing on Monday while travelling by road through a Pakistani tribal region where Taliban militants have become increasingly active in recent months, officials said. Ambassador Tariq Azizuddin was being driven through the Khyber region on his way back to Kabul when he disappeared, according to officials who requested anonymity. “He's been missing since 0600 GMT,” said a security official in the Khyber region. The envoy was due to have changed cars at the border, but is not believed to have reached the frontier. Four Pakistani ICRC workers went missing in the same area a few days ago.
