World: In Afghanistan, 6 Americans among victims in medical team shooting

  • This tragedy negatively impacts our ability to continue serving the Afghan people. We hope it will not stop our work that benefits over a quarter of a million Afghans each year.
  • A message on International Assistance Mission’s Web site • Regarding the deaths of at least ten of its medical staffers in northeastern Afghanistan. The deaths, mostly of Americans, were apparently brutal – each were individually shot in what was called a robbery. Two Afghans on the team survived. source
