KARACHI: Pakistan's most revered social worker has been given round-the-clock protection against an alleged Taliban threat, officials said Friday. Abdul Sattar Edhi, 85, runs the country's largest charity, which operates hundreds of ambulances and shelters for women, children and the destitute. Described as a "living saint" for his modest lifestyle and charitable crusade, Edhi has won international peace awards and is one of Pakistan's most popular figures.
