The mother of a five-year-old British boy kidnapped by gunmen in Pakistan spoke of her joy on Tuesday after he was released unharmed.

Sahil Saeed, who was snatched from a house in the Punjab region on March 4, was found wandering alone in a field this morning.
His mother Akila Naqqash, speaking from the family home in Oldham, Greater Manchester, described the moment she found out he had been released.
“It was amazing. At first I thought it was not true.”
She added: “I talked to him on the phone, my little boy. It reassured me that he is safe and he's been released from the kidnappers. That's enough for me.”
She said she was “gobsmacked” to hear her son's voice again on the phone.
Beaming broadly, Sahil's mother said her son seemed unharmed by his ordeal and had been asking about his sisters and other family members during a brief phone chat.
She said: “He was going on and on and on about his toys -- just a normal little boy.”
Sahil is understood to still be in Pakistan and his return is being organized by the British High Commission in Islamabad.
It is thought family members will fly out to be reunited with him in Pakistan before he is flown back to the UK.
Greater Manchester Police assistant chief constable Dave Thompson said the boy was released at 4.10am British time in Kharian City, Punjab.
He said: “The release was made as a result of a phone call made to his family.
“He was released nearby to a school, alone, wandered into a local field and was found by some local residents who looked after him until such time his family found him with the police.”
He also praised the “support and co-operation” given by Sahil's mother and father.
Sahil was on holiday with his father, Raja Naqqash Saeed, in Pakistan when he was snatched. Raiders struck as the pair were preparing to take a taxi to the airport for their flight home to the UK.
The kidnappers apparently demanded a £100,000 ransom for the boy's return and originally set a deadline of noon the next day for the money to be delivered.
His family promptly said there was “no way” they could afford any such payment.
After Sahil was taken, several men - including a taxi driver - were arrested.
His family suffered frustrations during the investigation after Pakistani authorities said on several occasions that they were close to securing the boy's release.
Sahil's mother begged for the safe return of her son, telling the kidnappers at one point: “I just want my son back. All is forgiven, I will forgive you.”
