| Head of primary military court kidnapped in Kunduz |
| 2017-01-22 |
| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The head of the primary military court in Kunduz province was kidnapped by unknown gunnies, local officials said. The incident took place earlier today on Takhar-Kunduz highway. A security official in Kunduz confirmed that the head of the court was on his way from Takhar to Kunduz when he was kidnapped by unknown gunnies. The official further added that the main motive behind his abduction is not clear yet and a search operation is underway for his release. No group including the Taliban Lions of Islam has so far grabbed credit behind the incident. Kunduz is among the relatively volatile provinces in northern Afghanistan where the Taliban Lions of Islam are actively operating in a number of its districts. The Talibs often establish check posts on the main highways connecting Kunduz with the other northern provinces and kidnap passengers on charges of working for the government. Several kidnapping incidents took place on Takhar-Kunduz highway last year and scores of passengers were kidnapped by the holy warriors. However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... the majority of the passengers were released after they were taken by the Talibs for interrogation. |
