Gunmen kill 10 workers at British landmine charity in Afghanistan

The Halo Trust said an unknown armed group had attacked a camp in Baghlan province shortly before 10pm on Tuesday evening, shooting staff dead in their beds after a day's work. The UK-American charity, which has offices in Dumfries, Wilton and Washington DC, said 10 staff, all of them Afghans, had been shot dead. Another 16 were wounded.

Apparently the Taliban chased the attackers away.

Mr Cowan said he would not speculate on who carried out the attack, but pointed to the Taliban denial and said a local band of the insurgents “came to our aid and scared the assailants off”.
