2 airport workers killed in Afghan bus ambush

Unidentified gunmen fired at a bus ferrying airport employees in northern Afghanistan, killing at least two people and wounding six others, a senior police official said. The bus was ambushed by two gunmen on its way to the Mazar-i-Sharif airport, Balkh provincial police spokesman Mohammad Asif Waziri said. “The vehicle came under attack when the technical team was on its way to the airport,” Waziri said. The ambush was the latest in a series of deadly attacks that have hit Afghanistan in recent months. Foreign airlines have still not resumed flights to Kabul and other Afghan cities since the Taliban seized power in August, citing security concerns for their crew and passengers. – AFP
