Two professors at the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul were kidnapped early Sunday, officials said. The incident happened close to the university, according to Kabul police chief Abdel Rahman Rahimi. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the kidnapping, but kidnapping-for-ransom has increased in Afghanistan in the past couple of months. Rahimi didn't confirm to Fox News the nationality of the two professors, or whether the two were staff of the university of visiting, but another law enforcement source told Fox News one of them is an American citizen and the other is an Australian national.
