Abducted pair ‘were preachers’
Print Edition
PAKISTAN said yesterday that the two Chinese citizens abducted last month, and whose killing was claimed by Islamic State, were “preachers” who had abused the visa system by posing as business people to enter the country.
The interior ministry identified the pair as Lee Zing Yang, 24, and Meng Li Si, 26. Previously officials had said they were Chinese-language teachers.
The two were abducted by armed men pretending to be policemen on May 24 in Quetta, the provincial capital of Baluchistan province. Last week, Islamic State’s Amaq news agency said its members had killed them.
The ministry said they had entered Pakistan on business visas. But instead of doing business, they had gone to Quetta, where they pretended to learn Urdu from a Korean business owner but “were actually engaged in preaching.”
