两名外国人据报在喀布尔被绑架

2016-08-09来源:VOA

Unknown armed men have kidnapped two foreigners, thought to be a U.S. citizen and an Australian, in the Afghan capital, Kabul. The two are believed to be employees of the American University of Afghanistan.

A local police official in the area who requested anonymity told VOA's Afghan service that men disguised in National Security forces uniforms kidnapped the foreigners Sunday night.

The U.S. State Department said in a statement it is "aware of reports of a U.S. citizen kidnapped in Kabul," but did not provide any more information.

The Australian government confirmed the "apparent kidnapping" of one its citizens."

Kabul police have launched an investigation and an operation is under way to find the abductees.
