2 aid workers kidnapped in Afghanistan
By AMIR SHAH, Associated Press Writer
15 minutes ago

KABUL, Afghanistan - Two foreigners from the International Red Cross who had helped free South Korean captives last month have been kidnapped in Afghanistan after talking with militants about the release of a German hostage, officials said Thursday.

The two foreigners were abducted in Salar district, said Ewaz Muslimyar, the police chief of Wardak province.

An official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation said the two foreigners had gone with their two Afghan drivers to Wardak province to discuss the release of a German man kidnapped in July.


All four ICRC staff were taken captive Wednesday afternoon, the official said.

The two foreigners helped coordinate negotiations and the release of 19 South Korean captives late last month, the official said.

I somehow doubt Korea will be forking money over for these people even though they helped get their hostages freed.

One can only hope their frustrated hill-dwelling captors manage to respect the true courage of these unarmed peacemakers.

Were they desperately working to convert them to a Protestant Asian brand of someone's so-called Christianity?

Now that could be a problem Idea
