Foreigners in Kabul stoned to death

TWO foreign nationals, one of them Swiss, have been stoned to death in the Afghan capital Kabul, government officials said yesterday.

Bodies of the men were discovered in Baghe Chilstone, an ancient garden not far from the city’s centre, Interior Ministry spokesman Lufullah Mashal said.

“Locals informed the police and showed them the bodies and an investigation is going on as to who stoned these to death, and why,” Mr Mashal said. “One of them holds a Swiss passport and the nationality of the other is not known.”
