British bodyguard kills two in Kabul shoot-out
2003-02-25
A British bodyguard has killed two Afghan men in a shoot-out in Kabul. Police Chief Bashir Salangi said the Briton, who has not been named, was injured in the clash and is in hospital. He said the bodyguard worked for a British security firm and was protecting an American man and his Afghan wife. The shoot-out occurred at the Intercontinental Hotel, where mostly foreigners stay. Police, who refused to speculate on the motive behind the shooting, scrambled to the hotel, cordoned off the area and removed the bodies, said witnesses. The bodyguard's injuries were not believed to have been life threatening.
Protected his charges, took a bullet, and dropped both gunnies. Good shooting, mate! Get well soon.

#1  And they say good help is hard to find!

Hope the injuries, while not life-threatening, are also not disabling.
