Gunmen abduct, kill three foreigners in Kabul

Unknown gunmen have abducted and killed three foreign nationals working in the Afghan capital of Kabul, a police official says.

The incident took place in Mussahi district in Kabul Province early on Thursday.

“An Indian, a Malaysian, and a Macedonian citizen were abducted and killed. We have found their bodies,” Hashmat Stanekzai, a spokesman for Kabul’s police chief, told Reuters.

Citing an unnamed senior diplomat in Kabul, Reuters said the three worked for the world’s second-largest food and catering services company, Sodexo.

Afghan security officials also announced that they had found identity cards next to the bodies and were seeking confirmation from the company.

No group or individual has yet claimed responsibility for the incident.
