(11 May 2016) Former Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani said in Lahore that he had briefly spoken to his son who has been freed from captivity and that he would thank his rescuers.
Ali Haider Gilani was flown from Afghanistan back home on Wednesday and reunited with family.
The younger Gilani was rescued during a joint US-Afghan commando raid on an al-Qaida compound near the Pakistani border on Tuesday, after three years of captivity by militants in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Yusuf Raza Gilani served as prime minister from 2008 to 2012, during which time his secular Pakistan People's Party government led several military offensives against the Taliban and allied Islamic militants.
