Three including Indian Killed in Kabul: police

Kabul : Afghan police in Kabul Thursday recovered the bodies of three foreign nationals who they said had been abducted and killed, in the latest incident targeting foreigners in the war-torn capital.

“At this stage we think it is a terrorist incident,” a police spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai said, describing the incident as an abduction. No group has so far claimed responsibility for the killings. A spokesman from the interior ministry also confirmed the incident, saying the victims were from India, Macedonia and Malaysia.

The three men were working for a logistics company in the capital. The incident happened after the group left their office with a car and driver Thursday. Just over an hour later their bodies were found in what appeared to be a different car by authorities in the rural outskirts of Kabul. “They had been shot inside the car,” said Bahar Mehr with the interior ministry.
