New Delhi: An Indian national, heading a US charity organisation, was abducted in Afghanistan's western Herat province today.

There is no confirmation yet of who is responsible and if there are any demands.

Officials have requested NDTV to withhold the name of the Indian and the American organisation he works for - in security interests. Officials have also told NDTV that the Indian national worked on educational programs in Afghanistan for the American aid and charity organisation.

India Targeted In Herat

India's consulate in Herat had been attacked on May 23. All four attackers were killed and no Indian was injured. President Hamid Karzai had blamed the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba for the assault, while he was in Delhi for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony and for a bilateral meeting.

Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh has just returned from a trip to Afghanistan and reviewed security for Indian missions and assets in Afghanistan. Safer locations for India's five missions are being located by both sides.
