The bodies of four men abducted last week in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Ghazni have been found, Afghan authorities say.

According to the officials, the men kidnapped by terrorists had all been shot dead.

The bodies were spotted in the Nawur district bordering Pakistan, said deputy police chief of Ghazni province Asadullah Ensaf.

He added that three of the men were members of the Hazara Shia community.

The Ghazni governor’s spokesman Shafiq Nang said that the men were engineers, adding that they had been kidnapped by terrorists last Thursday.

Meanwhile, a security official who spoke on condition of anonymity said the engineers were working in the government’s construction projects.

The Hazara Shia community has been targeted by the Taliban and other militants in Afghanistan.

In February, masked gunmen kidnapped 30 Hazara men in Zabul province, located in south of Ghazni.
