KABUL, OCT. 31. A video apparently showing three foreign election workers kidnapped in Afghanistan was shown on Arab television on Sunday. The video was the firmest evidence yet that the three were in the hands of a Taliban splinter group which has threatened to kill them unless British troops leave Afghanistan and the U.S. frees Afghan prisoners.
False alarm
An American agent hidden under a head-to-toe veil sparked fear of a suicide attack in the Afghan capital on Sunday by fleeing from police who tried to search her at a city park, officials said. Police initially thought the woman, who was carrying a bag under her traditional Afghan burqa, was laden with explosives. But an official with the NATO-run security force said the woman had panicked because her bag contained a pistol. ``It's all been resolved amicably,'' the official said, on condition he not be named.
