KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (Agence France-Presse) — The police here searched Sunday for an abducted American aid worker and her driver as authorities awaited contact from the kidnappers.
The Taliban, who have been linked to several kidnappings, said they were trying to see if any of their members were involved but could not “yet” take responsibility for the abductions, which occurred Saturday.
Police officers searched vehicles leaving Kandahar with emphasis on the area where Cyd Mizell, 49, and her Afghan driver were seized while traveling to work on Saturday.
“Our goal is to stop the suspected abductors from taking the hostage out of town and hopefully, with God’s help, arrest those who have abducted her,” said one of the officers, who gave his name only as Hashmatullah.
The kidnapper has not made contact with the Afghan government or Ms. Mizell’s employer, the Philippines-based community development organization Asian Rural Life Development Foundation, they said Sunday.
