HEARTBROKEN Ravia Mushtaq is still awaiting news, 10 days after her husband snatched away their six children to Pakistan.

She made an emotional appeal through the Lancashire Evening Telegraph yesterday for Mushtaq Ahmed to return them to their home in Whitendale Crescent, Lower Audley, Blackburn. Police are trying to trace him through Interpol and relatives in Gujrat to ensure the children are safe.

But he will not be prosecuted because he is entitled to take them away as a joint legal guardian.

Razia, 36, has been told she faces a custody battle for the children, aged between 14 months and nine years. They were taken on December 22.
