| 2015-04-21 |
| [Ynet] Afghan Talibs have kidnapped 19 people working for a land mine clearance project in an eastern province, a local official said on Monday. It was the latest in a string of kidnappings in the violence-weary country, days after four kidnapped ethnic Hazara men were killed by their captors. Abdul Wali Sahi, deputy governor of the eastern province of Paktia, said the Taliban kidnapped the de-miners on Sunday while they were surveying an area on the outskirts of Gardez, the scenic provincial capital. The kidnapped de-miners were employees of Sterling Demining Afghanistan, Sahi said. The company holds mine-clearing contracts throughout Afghanistan. |
