A British boy kidnapped while on holiday in Pakistan nearly two weeks ago has been located safe and well, the British High Commission has confirmed. Sahil Saeed, aged five, was snatched from a house in the Punjab region of the country on March 4 after robbers held his family hostage at gunpoint. The British High Commission in Islamabad said early on Tuesday that he had been released and was safe, describing his recovery as "fantastic news". High Commissioner Adam Thomson added: "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."
