TWO NEPALESE ABDUCTED IN KABUL
Two citizens of Nepal were kidnapped in the Afghan capital on 11 February, AFP reported on 12 February, citing an unidentified Afghan Interior Ministry source. The two men were originally reported to have worked as security guards for a nongovernmental organization; however, the Afghan government source denied the report, identifying the two as "ordinary workers." The Nepalese Foreign Ministry has asked Pakistan to help in getting the two men released, as Nepal does not have an embassy in Afghanistan, nepalnews.com reported on 12 February. AT
