According to the Chinese embassy, one of the missing Chinese was forced onto a car driven by Afghan nationals heading out of Kabul in the early morning on Friday.

The Chinese man then managed to untie himself and jumped out of the car on the way.

A nearby American military base offered assistance to this man and transferred him to the Chinese Embassy in Kabul.

Three Chinese citizens, one male and two female, were killed Thursday in an apartment building in central Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan.

It has marked the first such incident recently in this war-torn nation.

The body of an Afghan male was also found at the criminal scene.

All the five Chinese victims are self-employed business people, the embassy confirmed.

After the attack, the Chinese Embassy there immediately urged the Afghan government to take all measures to arrest the perpetrators and ensure the security of Chinese citizens and institutions in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, an official with the Afghan Interior Ministry described the bloody incident as a criminal act, saying quote:
