Kabul : Taliban militants abducted a Pakistani employee of an Afghan company working in Afghanistan’s southern Kandahar province on Saturday, provincial police chief Syed Aqa Saqib said.
“The Pakistani national was a road engineer and worked for an Afghan road construction company to reconstruct the Kandahar-Gereshk road when armed Taliban militants after injuring his Afghan driver took him away,” Saqib told Xinhua.
But he did not give more details.
However, Saqib added that a mine planted by militants struck a vehicle of the same company in the same area Saturday killing one Afghan guard and wounding another.
A suicide attack on an Indian road construction company in Afghanistan’s western Nimroz province on Thursday left one Indian national dead and injured five other people.
