 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A group described by police as "thieves" claimed responsibility for kidnapping an Italian relief worker in the Afghan capital, police said Tuesday. Italy's foreign minister later said contact had been made with the kidnappers and the hostage was not hurt.
Four armed men dragged Clementina Cantoni, 32, from her car in Kabul on Monday. She works for CARE International on a project helping Afghan widows and their families.
On Tuesday, the group of men contacted authorities to claim responsibility, Gen. Jamil Jumbesh, head of the Interior Ministry's anti-terrorism division, told The Associated Press. He declined to say whether the group made demands.
