WARSAW, Feb 16: Poland has pressed Pakistan to retrieve the body of a Polish man who was kidnapped and beheaded by militants and to track down his killers, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said on Monday.

“I had a discussion with my Pakistani counterpart and underlined how important it is for us that his body be brought back and that the guilty be punished,” Sikorski told reporters.

“I received the assurance that Pakistani authorities are doing all they can. But we can unfortunately see that not everything is possible for the government, which only has nominal power in these regions,” he said.—AFP
