Kidnapped BRAC staff freed

Two BRAC officials, Md Shahjahan and Aktar Ali, abducted in Afghanistan some ten days ago, have been released, the NGO said Sunday.

“The abductors set the officials free in Ghazni province on Saturday night and they reached our Kabul office on Sunday morning,” BRAC public relations director Anwarul Haque told bdnews24.com.

Shahjahan and Ali are both BRAC Afghanistan area managers.

BRAC Bangladesh office is making contact with them and they will be brought back home as early as possible, Haque said.

The officials were kidnapped on Oct 23 from Ghazni province.
