International Rescue Committee pulls out after killings in Kabul
15/8/08
An international aid group which has worked in Afghanistan for 25 years said it was suspending relief work after three of its female aid workers and their Afghan driver were shot dead. The killings, claimed by Taliban insurgents, came amid warnings about deteriorating security. Aid groups warned this month of the extreme dangers facing their staff, saying 19 non-government workers had been killed in the first seven months of the year, more than in all of 2007.
