FBI Seeking Information Into the Disappearance of Mahmood Shah Habibi
The FBI is seeking information into the disappearance of Mahmood Shah Habibi in 2022 in Afghanistan. Mr. Habibi is an Afghan-American businessman, and he worked as a contractor for Asia Consultancy Group, a Kabul-based telecommunications company.
On August 10, 2022, Mr. Habibi was taken from his vehicle near his home in Kabul City, Afghanistan, along with his driver. It is believed that Mr. Habibi was taken by Taliban military or security forces and has not been heard from since his disappearance. The FBI believes that Mr. Habibi and his driver were also taken with 29 other employees of Asia Consultancy Group; all except for Mr. Habibi and one other have since been freed.
“It has been two years since Mr. Habibi’s disappearance, and the FBI continues to work diligently to return him to his family,” said David Sundberg, assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office. “The FBI has a commitment to our citizens, victims, and their families to seek answers on their behalf. We are once again asking for the public’s help and encourage anyone who has information to contact the FBI."
We encourage anyone with information concerning this case, to please contact the FBI, your nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. Tips can be kept confidential.
