They are believed to be employees of the university and were traveling between the university and their residence, he said. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the abduction. Sediqqi also added that initial reports show that up to five armed men stopped the foreigners’ vehicle and carried out the kidnapping. The two abducted are both men, he said.
