KABUL (Reuters) - Two Afghan ministers suspected of embezzlement have been summoned for investigation, Afghanistan's deputy attorney general said on Monday.

Deputy attorney general Fazel Ahmad Faqiryar told Reuters other officials were also being targeted by the inquiry.

"If the ministers insist and don't show up for the interrogation, we have other legal means with which to proceed," he said.
