KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — An Italian freelance photographer and his assistant have been abducted in southern Afghanistan, an official said Sunday.
Gabriele Torsello and his Afghan translator were abducted by armed men on Saturday as they were driving from Lashkar Gah, the capital of the southern Helmand province, toward neighboring Kandahar, an Afghan official in Helmand said.
The two were in their car when they were abducted, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
NATO-led peacekeepers said they were checking the report, but had no confirmation.

This whole thing is going to be a long, painful and bumpy ride. Unfortunately, no one will learn their lesson when this is over and we will be in the same perdicament 50 years from now. Most of the lessons from the Great Depression were not learned.
