Missing cop’s body found in Afghanistan

foreign ministry and the Afghan ambassador have confirmed that the body of a Pakistani police officer who went missing in Islamabad last month has been found in neighbouring Afghanistan.

Tahir Khan Dawar disappeared on Oct. 27 and was presumed abducted by militants. The case baffled authorities as Islamabad is one of the safest cities in Pakistan.

Then, photographs purporting to show Dawar’s badly beaten body surfaced on social media. The body was found in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province with a note saying he was killed by a little-known militant group. (AP)
