U.N. elections officials in Afghanistan kidnapped

Armed men in military uniforms stopped a U.N. vehicle in Kabul yesterday, beating the driver and abducting three foreigners in Afghanistan to help oversee landmark presidential elections.

The daylight kidnapping in one of the most affluent and heavily guarded areas of the city followed warnings that Taliban militants could target foreigners in an echo of the brutal insurgency roiling Iraq.
