An Australian worker in Afghanistan was kidnapped while traveling by car with driver, Basir Mujahid. The gunman was unknown, but the area she was taken was near Kabul's Qala-e-Fatullah, back in November. She worked for the Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief. They released her with the help and support from the authorities in Afghanistan.
There actually have been many kidnappings in Afghanistan, even if you are from there you can still get kidnapped. Knowing that the place you live in could be very dangerous is scary, you never know when you could be snatched of the streets, or on your way home from school. I am very fortunate to live in a place where I could feel somewhat safe 99.9% of the time. The crimes that happen around the world could be prevented if we have enough support and help.

I always thought of Australia as a nice happy place, but I guess no place is perfect.
