ISLAMABAD — An Afghan official abducted in Pakistan last October has been freed by his captors and returned home. Qazi Mohammad Nabi Ahmadi, the deputy governor of Afghanistan’s eastern Kunar province, was kidnapped while visiting a doctor in the Peshawar, near the border. No one has claimed the kidnapping, and it’s unclear who abducted him. Zardasht Shams, Afghanistan’s deputy ambassador in Islamabad, said Saturday that Ahmadi had rejoined his family in Kunar. The family has been approached for ransom, but it’s unclear whether any has been paid.
