Local officials in Afghanistan's northeastern Nuristan Province say three Afghans who had been kidnapped earlier in the week have been found unharmed.
The three had been reported abducted from a house in the Kamdesh district of Nuristan Province. At least two of the three Afghans were election workers. No further details were immediately available.
More than three years after a U.S.-led coalition ousted the Taleban regime, loyalists are waging an escalating guerrilla campaign ahead of Afghanistan's September parliamentary vote.
In recent days in Kandahar Province, a judge and a district administrator were killed in attacks believed to have been carried out by insurgents.
More than 700 people have been killed in the violence this year.
