Kabul, Rajab 14, 1439, Mar 31, 2018, SPA -- Taliban militants have killed one of five men abducted in western Herat province of Afghanistan, a local official confirmed Saturday. "Four of them are still with the insurgents," Jailani Farhad, a spokesman for the provincial governor of Herat, told dpa. The five Afghan nationals were on their way to a wedding ceremony on Thursday when they were taken by Taliban militants in the district of Zerkoh, Farhad said. Those kidnapped included two brothers who were teachers. Tribal elders are assisting local government officials in efforts to secure the release of the remaining abductees, Farhad said. --SPA 15:32 LOCAL TIME 12:32 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w655401
