Kabul: Two Afghan workers for the Iraqi Embassy killed in attack

Two Afghan workers for the Iraqi Embassy in Kabul were killed on Monday after few gunmen launched an attack.

Najib Danish, a spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, has said three police officers were also wounded in the attack.

Danish said a suicide bomber blew up the gates at about 11:30 a.m. on Monday, after which three gunmen entered the Embassy's grounds and began firing.

Afghan special forces were called in and they succeeded in killing all of them.

Iraqi diplomats were taken to a safe place.

Earlier in May, a blast in Kabul's diplomatic quarter killed as many as 150 people, and injured hundreds, including children.

 

In July, at least 31 people were left dead after a car bombing claimed by the Taliban.
