KABUL — The United Nations said five of its Afghan employees were missing Friday amid reports their vehicles were hijacked in the same northern province where fierce fighting killed four German soldiers and three Afghan police the day before.
Word of the U.N. workers’ disappearance in Baghlan province followed twin bombings Thursday targeting foreign companies in Kandahar that killed at least six people.
A Baghlan police official said the U.N. employees had been kidnapped by Taliban insurgents, but a U.N. spokesman in Kabul said only that the five Afghans, who worked for the U.N. Office for Project Services, were missing. The Associated Press
