It was no ordinary reunion when Shahbaz Taseer and Ali Haider Gilani met in Lahore on Saturday after their release from captivity.

Shahbaz and Ali Haider were abducted in two separate incidents in 2011 and 2013. While, Shahbaz, the scion of slain Punjab governor Salman Taseer was released last month, former premier Yousuf Raza Gilani’s son was released last week after three years in captivity.

As Shahbaz perfectly summed up, “miracles do happen,” their recoveries were nothing short of that. The slain Punjab governor’s son took to Twitter to post pictures of himself as their families met to cheer each other on the recoveries.

Ali Haider - seized by militants on the outskirts of Multan on May 9, 2013 - was freed on Tuesday by Afghan and US forces during a raid on an al Qaeda cell in Afghanistan’s Paktika province.
