Four persons who introduced themselves as police officials tried to kidnap the Yemeni embassy's deputy head of mission Dr. Abdul Rab Abubakar Bingabr from his residence on Sunday, but fled following resistance put up by the diplomat and his family. "The men rang the doorbell of Dr Bingabr's house in sector G-10 at about 2a.m. and introduced themselves as policemen, but could not tell the reason of their visit," the Pakistani Dawn news agency reported. "The diplomat got suspicious and started shouting. He also called his neighbours for help and asked his son to bring a weapon and shoot the suspects," the report said. It further added that doors of the neighbouring houses opened and the suspects ran towards their car parked on the roadside and sped away. It stressed that the diplomat had been receiving threats from a group and some men had broken into his house and taken away his car last year, saying, "He had informed the Foreign Office several times about the threats but security had not been provided to him." The Superintendent of Police of the area, retired Capt Muhammad Ilyas, said he was not aware of the incident and police had not received any complaint. Dr Bingabr said he had informed the Yemeni government about the incident and taken up the issue with the authorities there.
