Coalition troops in Afghanistan were searching from the air and on land for a pair of missing service members who left the nation's capital in a vehicle on Friday, officials said.
A terse statement on Saturday from NATO's mission in Afghanistan, the International Security Assistance Force, did not indicate the nationality of the pair.
"Two [ISAF] service members departed their compound in Kabul City in a vehicle on Friday afternoon and did not return," ISAF said in a statement.
"The unit dispatched vehicles and rotary-winged assets to search for them and their vehicle and the search is ongoing," ISAF said in a statement.
Media reports indicate that local radio broadcasts from ISAF commanders were being aired offering a $20,000 reward for information that would lead to the service members' return.

The broadcasts stated that the coalition personnel are believed to have been captured by insurgents in Logar province.
An e-mail to ISAF's public affairs office for confirmation was not immediately available.
