KABUL — Two Germans who disappeared nearly three weeks ago while hiking in the Hindu Kush mountains were shot to death, a police general said Monday.
Gen. Sher Ahmad Maladani, police chief of Afghanistan’s eastern Parwan province, said Monday that searchers found the bodies with bullet wounds in their chests, but it’s not clear when they died. The area where the bodies were found is extremely rugged and remote. The two bodies were inside cloth sacks.
The area is inhabited mostly by nomadic shepherds who live in tents. It is not considered a Taliban area.
In unrelated incidents, a roadside bomb and a suicide bomber killed eight people and wounded 20 in two attacks around the country, the Interior Ministry said.
