QUETTA: Pakistani security forces on Thursday had no clue to the whereabouts of two Czech women abducted in the southwestern province of Baluchistan despite an extensive search, a senior official said.
The women, who apparently crossed into Pakistan from Iran on holiday, were taken at gunpoint on Wednesday, around 550 kilometres (350 miles) west of Quetta, the main town of Baluchistan, which borders Afghanistan and Iran.
"The whole administration, including police and law enforcement agencies have been on high alert since the kidnapping took place," provincial home secretary Akbar Hussain Durrani told AFP.
"The hunt is continuing. Police, levies (tribal police) and local tribesmen have searched the whole area up to the Afghan border but we still have no clue about their whereabouts," he said.
Durrani said it would be "premature" to determine who was involved.
"They could be typical kidnappers or any militant group," he added.
