Taliban terrorists have kidnapped 20 Shia people in Afghanistan’s central province of Daykundi.

According to Zamen Pouya, the governor of the Kajran district of Daykundi, the terrorists abducted 20 drivers and passengers belonging to Balouch ethnic group.

The local official added that the kidnapped individuals were later transferred to the neighboring province of Urozgan.

He also said that Kajran has been the scene of fierce clashes between Afghan security forces and Taliban terrorists for around 10 days, calling on the central government to deploy more troops to the violence-wracked district.

Back in February, unidentified gunmen carried out an attack on Kabul-Qandahar highway, kidnapping 30 passengers from mostly Shia Hazara community.

The government has so far failed to obtain any information on the whereabouts and fate of the abducted passengers.
