Iran diplomat kidnapped, insecurity mounts in Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) – Gunmen abducted an Iranian diplomat in
Peshawar on Thursday, a day after a U.S. aid worker was shot dead in
the city on the front line of an Islamist insurgency sweeping
northwest Pakistan and parts of Afghanistan.

Suspicion for the kidnapping will inevitably fall on the Taliban and
affiliated Sunni Muslim militant groups such as al Qaeda, who hate
Shi’ite Muslims and predominantly Shi’ite Iran almost as much as they
hate the West.
