Sources told NBC that Abdul Saboor, 25, was a missing person and a suspect in the Saturday killing of a lieutenant colonel and a major, which took place as rage gripped the country for a fifth straight day over the burning of the Muslim holy book at a NATO base.
“Abdul Saboor is at large right now. He is the main suspect for us but we cannot draw any conclusions over whether or not he is the killer,” sources told Reuters, adding that CCTV footage shows that Saboor had access to the Command and Control Center where the slain Americans were found.
A gunman shot the Americans as they sat at their desks inside the government ministry building, NBC News reported. They were shot in the back of the head, Western officials speaking on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press.
