US woman kidnapped in Afghanistan

Post by Chezzie »

An American aid worker has been kidnapped with her driver while travelling to work in a volatile region in southern Afghanistan.

Unknown gunmen took the pair outside of the southern city of Kandahar, said provincial governor Asadullah Khalid.

He blamed the kidnapping on the "enemy of Islam and the enemy of Afghanistan", Associated Press news agency said.

It quoted Mr Khalid as saying the unidentified 49-year-old US woman was wearing a burka when she was taken.
