Pakistani jailed for kidnapping

A PAKISTANI man has been jailed for 60 years for kidnapping a five-year-old British boy who was on holiday in the country.

An official in Rawalpindi said the court also ordered that all belongings and property of the kidnapper, Imran Husain, be seized.

Court official Fayaz Haider said the court handed down the verdict but gave no more details.

The British boy, Sahil Saeed Naqqash, from Oldham, was kidnapped from his grandparents’ house in central Pakistan in March 2010.

The robbers had held his family at gunpoint and demanded a £100,000 (€114,000) ransom. He was later released unharmed.
