Police: Gunmen kidnap American in Pakistan

Gunmen kidnapped an American U.N. worker and killed his driver in southwestern Pakistan on
Monday, Associated Press reported.
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry called the abduction a
«dastardly terrorist act,» but it was not clear who
seized the head of the U.N. refugee office in the city of
Quetta as he traveled to work.
Police officer Khalid Masood identified the victim as U.S.
citizen John Solecki and said he had been working in Quetta
for more than two years.
Authorities sealed exit routes from the city, said Wazir
Khan Nasir, another officer. Police in the border town of
Chaman said they were checking vehicles to prevent the
kidnappers from whisking the captive to Afghanistan.
