1 of missing in Afghan attack safe
Print Edition
One of the two Chinese citizens missing after a fatal attack in Kabul on Thursday has been found alive and transferred to a safe place, the Chinese embassy there said yesterday.
One Chinese citizen remains missing and a search is continuing, added embassy officials.
Three Chinese citizens, one man and two women, were killed in an apartment in the center of the Afghan capital on Thursday.
The body of an Afghan man was also found at the criminal scene.
The Chinese victims were self-employed business people, the embassy confirmed.
According to the embassy, the two female victims were killed after they had stopped off at the apartment.
The Chinese embassy urged the Afghan government to take all practical and necessary measures to arrest the perpetrators and ensure the security of Chinese citizens and institutions in Afghanistan.
The attack did not appear to be linked to the huge Aynak copper deposit in Logar province south of Kabul, Afghanistan’s largest foreign investment project run by a Chinese consortium.
In November last year, Afghanistan’s mining minister said about 150 Chinese workers had returned to the mine after earlier fleeing because of rocket attacks on the project.
