Taliban killed
Three Taliban rebels were killed and eight were arrested in southern Afghanistan, while militants kidnapped an Afghan security worker, police and officials said on Friday.
The guard employed by USPI, a US private security firm, was abducted on Thursday in the southern province of Ghazni that has seen frequent Taliban attacks, provincial police chief Tafsir Khan said.
During a hunt for the kidnappers police detained six men for suspected involvement in the kidnapping, Khan said, adding that there was no news on the fate of the security worker.
The Taliban have threatened to target Afghan nationals working for the foreign military or civilian companies.
