ISLAMABAD:
A fourth person from the same family was detained by security officials in Attock on Sunday. Ibraheem, the youngest son of Egyptian-national-turned-Pakistani Muhammad Abdul Raheem was picked up by special branch police, according to his brother Ahmad. Earlier on May 24, their elder brother Abdullah, 23 and a student at the Air University, was found missing from his hostel in F-8, Islamabad. The family held a press conference at the National Press Club on May 27 where chairperson Defence of Human Rights Amina Janjua expressed concern over the abductions. The family had shifted to Pakistan from Egypt in the 80s. The father was abducted from Peshawar in 1994 and extradited to Egypt followed by the eldest son Abdul Rehman who was arrested in 2004 and extradited to Egypt in 2005.
