KARACHI, March 15: Police recovered 11 kidnapped children, seven girls and four boys, with their age ranging from two months to three years, from a bungalow in Gulshan-i-Iqbal on Friday, and arrested eight kidnappers — five women and three men.

The children were about to be smuggled out of the country.

Police said the children were to be smuggled to Malta, where one child was to be sold for 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars. The children were sent to the Edhi Child Home.

In 1998, six infants had been recovered, who were being smuggled abroad. All the six had been sent to the Edhi Child Home and five of them are still under the care of the Edhi Foundation.
