| [Iran Press TV] At least two Afghan aid workers have been killed and two others maimed in a shooting attack in Afghanistan's northern province of Jowzjan, Red Thingy and Red Islamic Thingy officials say. The officials said on Wednesday that the attack was carried in the Khanaqa district on Tuesday when unknown gunnies opened fire on the employees of the Afghan Red Islamic Thingy Society (ARCS) while their mobile clinic was travelling to the scenic provincial capital Shiberghan. Robin Waudo, the communication director of the International Committee of the Red Thingy (ICRC), said, "It looks like they were deliberately attacked. The vehicle was clearly marked." No group has yet claimed the responsibility for the attack although similar incidents are usually blamed on the Talibs. |
