Armed men have kidnapped an Italian aid worker from the centre of Afghanistan's capital, Kabul. The woman worked for US-based relief agency CARE International, Paul Barker, the agency's director in Afghanistan, said. Four men forced the woman into a white Toyota sedan in Kabul's Shahr-e-Naw district on Monday morning, General Mahboubullah Amiri, a senior official in the Afghan Interior Ministry, said. "Four men carrying Kalashnikovs bashed in the window of her car and took her away. They told the driver not to move or he would be shot," Barker said. Carlo Batori, an Italian diplomat in Kabul, confirmed the woman was an Italian citizen. Jamil Khan, head of the criminal investigation department for the city's police, said security forces had sealed off all the main roads out of the capital.
