Body found in Afghanistan was missing Pinay's - report

The Philippine embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan has confirmed that the woman found dead in a well about 100 kilometers southeast of Kabul in Afghanistan on Tuesday was the Filipina who has been reported missing for days. GMA News 24 Oras reported early evening on Wednesday that the woman’s identity has been kept pending advisory to her relatives. Earlier reports said Afghan police and intelligence agents believed that the body recovered in a well near the town of Gardez was that of a Filipino woman said to be working for an Indian company in Afghanistan. The last information known about her was that she was traveling to the capital when she was said to have been kidnapped five days ago. The report said police could not say if the woman’s abduction and killing had any link to the Taliban insurgency in which militants abducted foreigners and beheaded many of them. Two men suspected to have knowledge about the killing has been held in police custody. The Philippine government has banned the deployment of Filipinos to Afghanistan for safety and security reasons. - GMANews.TV
