Paris: Two French aid workers have been abducted in Afghanistan, humanitarian organisation Action Against Hunger said on Friday.
The organisation said the two were kidnapped by an armed group that broke into a house where they were sleeping in the town of Nili.
The French Foreign Ministry confirmed the kidnapping and said a crisis centre had been set up to handle the case with authorities in Afghanistan and Action Against Hunger.
The abduction comes after the kidnapping in May of a French businessman, who was released last month after weeks of behind the scenes negotiations.
