Amid persistent terror attacks looming large over foreigners working in Afghanistan, an Indian national has been reportedly killed in Kabul.
Three foreigners who had worked for Sodexo, an international food services company, were abducted and killed by militants in the Afghan capital, according to Hindustan Times. A spokesperson for the Kabul police chief, Hashmat Stanekzai, said that the three deceased were of Indian, Malaysian and Macedonian nationalities.
The three men were abducted early morning on Thursday, August 2, and their bodies were discovered later that day. The deceased were identified based on the ID cards found nearby. The security personnel is looking to confirm their identities with Sodexo officials in Afghanistan. However, the company was not available for a statement on the matter.
The cops are yet to ascertain the motive behind the murder as no terrorist group has come forward to claim responsibility for the abduction and death, so far.
Terror attacks in Afghanistan, some would say, has become an order of the day. Last month, a convoy of Sikhs and Hindus headed to meet the Afghan President were targeted on a suicide attack, killing 19. Earlier, seven Indians were abducted in May, reportedly by the Taliban.
Last year, an Indian aid worker named Judith D'souza, was abducted and held in captivity for almost a month before being rescued in July. In the past years, the Indian embassy in Kabul has been attacked twice, once in 2008 and again in 2009, not to mention the gruesome attack that killed dozens last year.
