A doctor was kidnapped and killed in a northern Afghan city, his family says. The doctor's son says Mohamed Nader Alemi was abducted two months ago by kidnappers. The son says the family paid a $350,000 ransom, but the kidnappers killed him anyway.
KABUL, Afghanistan — A prominent doctor was kidnapped and killed in northern Afghanistan, his family said Friday.
Despite the payment, the kidnappers then killed Alemi, leaving his body in the street, his son said. They called the family and told them where to find it on Thursday, he said.Alemi, a psychiatrist, worked for the government’s provincial hospital in Mazar-i-Sharif. He also owned a private clinic, said to be the city’s first private psychiatric clinic.
“The Islamic Emirate is committed to find and punish the perpetrators,” he said, using the Taliban name for Afghanistan. U.S. special representative for Afghanistan, Thomas West, responded to an open letter sent earlier this week by the Taliban foreign minister to the American Congress. In the letter, Amir Khan Muttaqi said American sanctions on the Taliban are fueling the economic crisis and urged Congress to release billions in Afghan assets.
