KABUL, Afghanistan – Four aid workers including a British woman were kidnapped in Afghanistan as election officials ordered recounts in 7 provinces after last week's parliamentary vote, raising further concerns of misconduct and fraud during the polls.
Meanwhile, 2 NATO troops, whose nationalities were not announced, were killed in a bomb attack in the volatile south, the alliance said Sunday.
The British aid worker and three Afghan colleagues were ambushed as they traveled in 2 vehicles in northeastern Kunar province. Police fought a gunbattle with the kidnappers near the attack site before the assailants fled, Kunar police chief Khalilullah Zaiyi said.
