3 U.S. Doctors Killed in Afghan Shooting

HeadlineApr 24, 2014

A shooting at a hospital in the Afghan capital of Kabul has killed three American doctors. The shooter is said to be an Afghan security guard who worked at the facility. Two others were wounded. A spokesperson for the Afghan Interior Ministry announced the attack.

Sediq Sediqqi: “The attacker was a police security guard there, and he opens fire on foreign nationals who were there. Unfortunately, three of them have been killed. One is injured, and the injured has been taken to the hospital. And the police has arrested the attacker, as well, so we will investigate to find out the motives behind this attack.”

The hospital is run by CURE International, a U.S.-based Christian group.
