KABUL, Afghanistan – A local-national contractor who worked on road construction projects for ISAF forces was found murdered three days after being kidnapped by insurgents in Kapisa Province last week.
The local-national contractor was kidnapped on Jan. 6. During his captivity, he was shot three times and killed. Afghan police found the contractor’s body hanging from a tree near Feroza, Jan. 9.
The contractor was part of a road construction project in the Afghanya valley of Kapisa, in Regional Command East.
ISAF Spokesperson, Brigadier General Richard Blanchette, condemned the kidnapping and murder of the local contractor and said “this local national man was merely trying to do his job and help build his country and, in doing so, was mercilessly killed by insurgents.”
