Ten people — including at least two Americans — were killed by gunmen in Afghanistan on Thursday, police said Saturday, and the Taliban militant group has claimed responsibility.
The gunmen stopped the victims on a road, took their belongings and shot them one by one, said Aqa Nwor Kentoz, police chief of Badakhshan province.
“The team had been in Nuristan at the invitation of communities there,” the international mission said. “After having completed their medical work, the team was returning to Kabul. At this stage we do not have many details but our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those who are presumed killed. … Some of the foreigners have worked alongside the Afghan people for decades.”
The assistant to the executive director of the mission group said the victims were providing eye care and internal medicine care to Afghans.
Hans Ronnlund denied statements by the Taliban that the medical staff was carrying Bibles.
