A five-year-old British boy who was kidnapped in Pakistan earlier this month has been found safe, the British High Commission said Tuesday. The commission did not say when or where Sahil Saeed was found. It issued a statement thanking the police in the Pakistani town of Jhelum for the boy's return.
Sahil, a British citizen of Pakistani descent, was on the last day of a two-week vacation in Pakistan before he was to return home to Oldham, in northern England.
Gunmen barged into Sahil's grandmother's home in Jhelum, in the eastern province of Punjab, and took him at gunpoint on March 3. They reportedly demanded a ransom of 10 million rupees ($118,000).
Soon after the abduction, Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik said the captors included someone close to the family.

"There is someone who is very close to the family because the way the situation happened, the way the entry was made," Malik told reporters.
