PARIS - Two French aid workers and three Afghan employees have gone missing in Afghanistan, the French foreign ministry said Wednesday. The aid organisation Terre dÂ’enfance (ChildrenÂ’s Land) alerted the foreign ministry about the disappearance on Tuesday morning.
Great name for a charity -- did they think Afghanistan qualified? | ‘The foreign ministry and our embassy in Kabul is attentively following this case and we are in liaison with local authorities and the French NGO,’ said foreign ministry spokesman Denis Simonneau, who declined to give further details.
Terre dÂ’enfance is running a humanitarian project in Zaranj in southwest Afghanistan, near the border with Iran, where the two aid workers and eight Afghans worked. Reached by AFP, an official with Terre dÂ’enfance declined to give details about the aid workers. |
