Gunmen kidnap French citizen in Kabul

Gunmen kidnapped a French aid worker off a street in Kabul on Monday and killed an intelligence agency employee who tried to stop the abduction - the latest in a series of attacks against Westerners in the Afghan capital. Three assailants tried to kidnap two French citizens, but after a scuffle they got away with only one, said Mohammad Daud Amin, a police commander in the neighborhood where the abduction took place. "A resident tried to prevent this kidnapping. A kidnapper opened fire and killed him. They were able to kidnap one Frenchman," Amin told The Associated Press. The Interior Ministry identified the resident as the driver for the intelligence chief of Panjshir province.
