Abduction of US citizen: US coordinating with Pakistani officials

The State Department is co-ordinating with Pakistani officials on an investigation of the Saturday abduction of a US citizen in Lahore, and said it was providing consular support to the man's family. Police said the American aid expert was kidnapped at gunpoint from his house after gunmen stormed through the back door and overpowered his guards.
"We are working with local authorities on the investigation, and we also are in contact with next of kin and are providing the family with consular support," State Department spokeswoman Joanne Moore told AFP.
