Report: Former attorney general abducted in Afghanistan

Former Afghan Attorney General Abdul Jabar Sabet
A former Afghan attorney general and presidential candidate has reportedly been abducted southeast of the capital.
Kabul police spokesman Hashmatullah Stanekzai told RFE/RL's Radio Free Afghanistan that six armed people riding motorcycles attacked Abdul Jabar Sabet while he was driving a car in the Char-asia area of Logar Province.
No group has claimed responsibility.
Sabet was Afghanistan's attorney general from May 2006 to June 2008.
He also ran for president in the 2009 elections.
