From the BBC:

BBC reporter Dilawar Khan Wazir has been released by his captors, a day after being kidnapped in Pakistan.

Mr Khan turned up shaken but unharmed in the BBC office in the capital, Islamabad, on Tuesday evening.

He had been blindfolded and questioned about his reporting and sources. He did not know who his kidnappers were.

His disappearance prompted the BBC to write to the Pakistan government, which said it could not confirm whether he was in their custody.

Mr Khan is one of the few local journalists reporting on the Pakistani army's fight with pro-Taleban militants in the troubled Waziristan region on the Afghan border.

A number of journalists have gone missing, and some have been killed, after covering stories considered sensitive by the military or the militants.
