The US based aid organization, Mercy Corps, today decided to close down at least 33 offices in Balochistan and Sindh provinces in south Pakistan following the killing of its drivers by his abductors. Four employees of Mercy Corps, Ifthakar Ahmed Shah, Babrak, Mohammad Asif and driver Habibullah Kakar, had been kidnapped by unidentified armed men at Qila Saifullah in Balochistan when they were on their way from Zhob to Quetta on February 18. The kidnappers, who have been asking for hefty sums for ransom, killed the driver recently after the aid organization and the family members of the kidnapped driver failed to comply with their demands.
