Found ... Sahil Saeed

How kidnap ordeal unfolded

By STAFF REPORTER

LITTLE Sahil Saeed, from Oldham, was apparently kidnapped nearly two weeks ago while holidaying with his father in Pakistan.

Here is a timeline of events surrounding the abduction:

March 3

:: Gun-wielding robbers break into a house in the Punjab region at 11pm and Sahil Saeed and his family are subjected to a six-hour ordeal.

March 4

:: Sahil is kidnapped while he and his father are staying with relatives at the house in Jhelum.

:: His father Raja Naqqash Saeed says the robbers are demanding a £100,000 ransom for his safe return.

:: At the family home in Greater Manchester, Sahil's mother Akila Naqqash weeps as she says there is "no chance" they can pay and pleads with her son's captors not to hurt him.

:: A man is arrested in connection with the kidnapping and taken in for questioning.

March 5

:: Police in Pakistan say a number of suspects are being questioned.

:: Sahil's relatives deny any involvement in his abduction amid suggestions that detectives are investigating the possibility of an "inside job".

:: The kidnappers reportedly speak to Mr Saeed on the telephone and tell him "the boy is with us and we will call you later".

March 6

:: The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Yousuf Raza Gilani, assures Mr Saeed the government is making an all-out effort to rescue Sahil.

:: Sahil's mother begs for the safe return of her son, telling the kidnappers: "I just want my son back. All is forgiven, I will forgive you."

March 8

:: Mr Saeed returns to the UK, according to sources. It is reported police in Pakistan wanted him to stay in the country as a witness.

March 11

:: The British Government "urgently" checks reports Sahil has been found, but hopes are later dashed after Pakistani authorities confirm the search is still ongoing.

March 12

:: Greater Manchester Police say Mr Saeed is working with them to try to recover Sahil.

March 16

:: British High Commission in Islamabad confirm Sahil has been released in Pakistan and is safe.

THE family of a five-year-old British lad kidnapped by gunmen in Pakistan were "overjoyed" today after he was found safe and well.

Sahil Saeed was abducted from a house in the Punjab region of the country on March 4 after bandits held his relatives hostage at gunpoint.

Sahil's mum, Akila Naqqash, who had begged for his release, has now spoken to her son and is waiting for him to return to his home in Oldham, Greater Manchester.

A police liaison officer at the family home said: "They are overjoyed."

They added: "For 12 or 13 days, waiting, building hopes up and then hopes going down. She is overjoyed. It is really happy, just really happy.

"They were made aware he had been found safe and well. Mother has spoken on the telephone and spoke to him for some time, a private conversation. He is safe and well.

"But the family do not want to say anything, they want to wait until he comes back."

This morning, family members went in and out of the terraced house with broad smiles of relief but refused to comment to reporters and TV crews outside.

Sahil is understood to still be in Pakistan and his return is being organised by the British High Commission in Islamabad.

A spokesman confirmed today that the boy had been located safe and well.

Adam Thomson, the British High Commissioner in Islamabad, said: "This is fantastic news.

"It brings to an end the traumatic ordeal faced by Sahil Saeed's family.

"I would like to praise the high level of co-operation between the UK and Pakistani authorities and in particular I would like to thank the Jhelum police for their role in bringing about the safe return of Sahil."

Foreign Office officials said they were unable at present to provide any more details about the boy's release.

Sahil was on holiday with his father, Raja Naqqash Saeed, in Pakistan when he was snatched.

Raiders struck as the pair were preparing to take a taxi to the airport for their flight home to the UK.

The kidnappers apparently demanded a £100,000 ransom for the boy's return and originally set a deadline of noon the next day for the money to be delivered.

His family promptly said there was "no way" they could afford any such payment.

After Sahil was taken, several men including a taxi driver were arrested.

His family suffered frustrations during the investigation, after Pakistani authorities said on several occasions that they were close to securing the boy's release.

Sahil's mother begged for the safe return of her son, telling the kidnappers at one point: "I just want my son back. All is forgiven, I will forgive you."

Sahil's father returned to the UK at the start of last week, despite reports that police in Pakistan wanted him to stay in the country as a witness.

Police official Ijaz Ahmed said Sahil was found earlier today in the town of Dinga in Punjab province.

Dinga is some 20 miles (30km) from his relatives' house in Jhelum where he was kidnapped.
