Taliban kill at least 10 Afghans working for mine-clearing agency
Taliban insurgents shot dead 10 Afghans working for an agency clearing land mines in an attack on their camp in the north of the country, their organisation, the Halo Trust, said on Wednesday. The Taliban, fighting to overthrow the foreign-backed Afghan government, denied involvement in the late Tuesday attack on the workers' camp in the northern province of Baghlan, where fighting has been heavy in recent weeks. The Halo Trust said in a statement an "unknown armed group" attacked the camp and killed 10 of its staff. It said 16 people were wounded. There were 110 workers at the camp at the time of the attack, the agency said.
