KABUL, (MILLAT/APP/AFP) – The Red Cross was desperately searching
for two employees who went missing after their convoy came under insurgent fire in northern Afghanistan, leaving six other workers dead, the charity said Friday.
The workers were ambushed in northern Jowzjan province on Wednesday
while they were enroute to a remote snowbound area to deliver much-needed relief supplies.
Six employees were killed on the spot, many of them shot from close
range, in one of the worst attacks on the international charity in the country for years.
“Unfortunately, there’s no news yet on our two colleagues unaccounted
for,” Thomas Glass, a spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), told AFP.
“We are actively trying to locate them.”
