The mother of a five-year-old UK boy kidnapped in Pakistan, has pleaded for his safe return.
Sahil Saeed was snatched by armed robbers on Wednesday while visiting relatives with his father.
Mother Akila Naqqash made a tearful appeal to his captors, saying she would "forgive them" if they released Sahil.
Reports say Pakistan's prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani has urged police to increase efforts to find a five-year-old UK boy kidnapped in the country.
Akila Naqqash said their family had "been praying all day and all night" for his release. "It's all we can do," she added.
Asked if she had a message for the kidnappers she said: "You should know and have it in your hearts. Please give our son back and we will forgive you. I will forgive you. God will forgive you.
"All I want is the safety of my son."
By Nick Ravenscroft, outside the Saeed family home in Oldham
They're too tired - and too worried - to talk much by the third day of sitting and waiting for the phone to ring with news. But the weariness and anguish is written on their faces.
One of Sahil's aunts told me that they didn't sleep at all last night - but just prayed. For her every time she shuts her eyes, she says she sees Sahil's face and hears him calling out to her.
His photos are there in the front room of the small, terraced family home on the edge of the Pennines. And his pictures are also all over the newspapers and television.
Sahil's mother told me that his two younger sisters keep blowing kisses at the screen when they see him - and ask where he is and when he's coming back. Two questions which the family desperately wish they could answer.
