A senior government administrator in Pakistan's troubled Swat valley has been abducted by gunmen, officials say.

Kushal Khan - the head of the district's administration - was seized by armed men on his way to Mingora, Swat's main town, witnesses said.

But Taleban sources are quoted as saying Mr Khan was a "guest" of the group and would be released soon.
