Kabul security chief in a news release said that the Ottoman Turkish engineer was kidnapped on Monday, Jun 19, from the ninth provincial district in Kabul.

According to the news release, the foreign national was rescued through a joint operation conducted by the security forces and the Taliban’s intelligence unit in provincial district nine of Kabul city.
