Two German men who disappeared in Afghanistan last month have been found dead, officials in Parwan province say.
The pair vanished near the Salang Pass, north of Kabul. Both men are said to have been working for an aid organisation.One unconfirmed report suggests the men were killed by gunshot wounds.
The Salang Pass is generally considered quite stable but there were fears the men had strayed into another valley, which is less secure.
Afghan officials suspect the men, who had been travelling without a local guide, were abducted by the Taliban in the neighbouring Ghorband valley.
Their bodies were found under a large boulder 4km (2.5 miles) from the south end of the Salang pass, Parwan's governor Abdul Basir Salangi is quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.
