I am happy to report that Maheen is OK!! His cousin saw an appeal that was posted on CNN looking for Maheen, and emailed another friend of Maheen's to let him know the good news! I am waiting for Maheen's cousin to reply to my email requesting the phone number where I can reach him (Maheen) in Sri Lanka. I have to hear for myself that he's ok!
I will post an update after I speak with him.
