Female Indian aid worker abducted from Kabul city
2016-06-11
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A female Indian aid worker has been kidnapped by unknown gunnies from Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
city late on Thursday night, security officials have said.

The incident took place in the vicinity of Qala-e-Fatullah area of the city where numerous kidnap incidents have taken place in the past.

Preliminary reports suggest the 40-year-old woman was working with a Non-governmental Organization and was kidnapped as she way to Taimani.

No group has so far grabbed credit behind the incident.

This comes as the Embassy of India in Kabul issued a security alert earlier last month to the Indian citizens residing in Afghanistan and travelling to the country, warning regarding the persistent volatile situation of the country.

"All Indians residing in Afghanistan and Indian travellers to Afghanistan are advised that the security situation in Afghanistan remains highly volatile. Terrorist attacks have taken place in many parts of the country against a variety of targets including foreigners and are expected to continue. There is also the risk of kidnapping and hostage taking throughout the Afghanistan," the statement said.
