Kidnapping has become a big business in Afghanistan. Wealthy Afghans are the targets, as criminal gangs are after ransom money.

At least one businessman is kidnapped every week, according to the Afghan International Chamber of Commerce.

The threat has made many businessmen leave Afghanistan, causing a major drain in wealth.
