1/3/2007 15:16

Police today found the body of a doctor after six days of his abduction in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province, a local official said.
The abductors killed doctor Abdul Shakor and his bullet-riddled body was found Thursday morning in Garsir district, provincial police chief of Helmand province Isa Khan told Xinhua.
Unknown armed men abducted the ill-fated doctor and his driver when he was going to visit a displaced camp in the troubled province last week. Later the abductors set free the driver.
No group or individuals have claimed responsibility and the official blamed the "enemies of peace", a term used to refer to Taliban insurgents.
