 [KhaamaPress] At least three people hailing from foreign countries were rubbed out shortly after they were kidnapped from Kabul city.The security sources are saying that the foreigners were kidnapped from the vicinity of the 9th police district of the city. The sources further added that the dead bodies of the foreign nationals were recovered from Musahi district of Kabul. According to the officials, the foreigners are hailing from India, Malaysia, and Macedonia, who were rubbed out after kidnapping from the city. Officials in the Criminal Investigation Department of Kabul also confirmed the kidnapping and murder of the three foreign nationals. No individual or group has so far grabbed credit behind the incident. This is not the first time foreign nationals, including women, have been kidnapped in Kabul city but numerous such incidents have taken place the past as well. The Talibs group often claim responsibility behind the abduction although some of the kidnappings are done for ransom by criminal gangs.
"At this stage we think it is a terrorist incident," police front man Hashmat Stanikzai told AFP. The incident happened after the group left their office with a car and driver Thursday. Just over an hour later their bodies were found in what appeared to be a different car by authorities in the rural outskirts of Kabul. "They had been shot inside the car," said Bahar Mehr with the interior ministry. Another front man with the ministry said the car's driver was being questioned by police and treated as a possible suspect. He added that all three had been handcuffed and shot, with two of the bodies later placed in the trunk of the car. Posted by: trailing wife 2018-08-03 |
