Family sources of the missing ISI officials Col (retired) Imam and Sq Leader (retired) Khalid Khawaja revealed that these officers were assisting the free lance journalist Asad Qureshi who was making a documentary on Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

They were on way back to their homes after having a meeting with the Taliban leadership in tribal areas when they were allegedly picked up by unknown people. It is yet not clear who kidnapped them.

However, it is pertinent to mention that both the former ISI officers were having close relations with Taliban and Al-Qaeda leadership.DawnNews

The case of Col Imam and Khalid Khwaja disappearance needs to be investigated and more so to determine why they were meeting the Taliban, as both of them are not in active service and under what authority were they meeting the Taliban. The de-briefing of such former intelligence officials is crucial as they can endanger the national security. Moreover Col Imam in a public interview has claimed Mullah Omer to be a father figure! Such activities of such officials must be monitored as it is a uniform practice all over the globe.
