United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs John Holmes on Monday condemned the kidnapping of an aid worker in Kabul, Afghanistan, and urged for an immediate and unconditional release of the abducted.
Holmes, who also serves as the world body's Emergency Relief Coordinator, expressed deep concern about the worsening trend of killings and abductions of both civilians and aid workers in Afghanistan.
Three gunmen abducted a French aid worker, who serves as a consultant for Amitie Franco-Afghane (AFRANE), a non-governmental organization active in education and development in Afghanistan.
An Afghan national, who tried to prevent the abduction, was shot dead, the Afghan Interior Ministry said.
