He added that the engineer had been brought to the central Ghazni province where 23 South Koreans were abducted on July 19.

Baghlan police chief and other officials in Ghazni said they have no information about the reported abduction.

Over the past two years, the Taliban has frequently carried out abductions in Afghanistan and killed some hostages.
