An Australian woman working for a non-governmental organization in Afghanistan was abducted Saturday night in Kabul, according to reports from the Associated Press and Reuters.

The woman, who has not been identified, was kidnapped at gunpoint in the nation's capital, AP reported. She works for the Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief, an organization that aims to facilitate information sharing and coordinating among other NGOs, government agencies, donors and UN groups.

The Australian Embassy in Kabul is looking into reports of an Australian being abducted in Kabul, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in an email statement on Sunday.

The department declined further comment, except to say Australians are advised not to travel to Afghanistan due to "the extremely dangerous security situation, including the serious threat of kidnapping.”

Several foreign aid workers have been kidnapped this year, including two Australians. Kerry Jane Wilson, an Australian aid worker, was abducted from her office in Jalalabad in April and freed in late August, Reuters reported. In early August, an Australian and an American were kidnapped in Kabul.
