KABUL - A criminal gang on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the kidnap of an Italian aid worker in the Afghan capital Kabul and demanded the release from prison of their leader, police said.
Abdul Jamil, director of Kabul police’s criminal investigation department, said the gang was willing to release Clementina Cantoni 32, who works for CARE International, for their leader Tela Mohammed and several accomplices.
“The criminal group of Tela Mohammed, who is police custody, contacted police and claimed responsibility for the abduction of the Italian woman,” Jalil told AFP.
