Two Taliban killed as search on for kidnapped Indian engineer
 Afghan police and military have mounted search to ensure safe recovery of an Indian engineer, who was kidnapped in southern Afghanistan on Friday. Elsewhere in the volatile Helmand province, two Taliban agents were reported dead after exchange of fire with military on Saturday. The Taliban were encircled by the police and military in a mountainous area in the Kajaki district of the Helmand province. Military commander Rahmatullah Raufi said the battle continued for about an hour. Two Taliban were killed while their other accomplices managed to escape.

The military had also captured arms and ammunitions after unearthing a sanctuary of the militants. Meanwhile, the Afghan police and military have mounted search operation for the safe recovery of the Indian engineer. Identified as Mr Narainan, worker of the Afghanistan-based foreign telecom company Roshan, was kidnapped on Friday evening while traveling on Kabul - Kandahar Highway. Taliban spokesman Yousuf Ahmadi had claimed responsibility for the kidnapping. This is the third incident of abduction of Indian workers in Afghanistan in the past four months.
| Quite by coincidence, India is Pak's Numbah One enemy, despite their current round of peace talks; the Paks accuse RAW of running the Balochistan and, much less believably, the Wazoo insurgencies; and the Afghan Talibs want the Heathen Hindoo out. |
