| Hunt on for killer of two US officers in Kabul |
| 2012-02-27 |
| A 25-year-old Afghan intelligence officer has been identified as "the main suspect" in the killing of two US military advisers inside the Afghan Interior Ministry building in Kabul Saturday, officials said yesterday. Abdul Saboor joined the police force two years ago and had one of the highest security clearances in the ministry. He is now believed to be on the run, a senior Afghan official told dpa. Saboor had served in several Afghan ministries and had worked at the Interior Ministry for some time, officials said. Security forces have already raided his house in the north-eastern province of Parwan, just north of Kabul, and have detained several of his relatives, local television Tolo reported. Investigators have not yet formally linked the killing to the incident, but it followed Taliban calls for revenge. The group claimed responsibility on Saturday. |
