Gunmen kill 10 mine-clearance workers in Afghanistan
Attackers burst into Halo Trust charity’s camp in Baghlan province, killing men ‘in cold blood’
Gunmen have killed 10 men working for the Halo Trust in northern Afghanistan, in a night-time assault that the mine-clearing charity’s head described as the worst the organisation had endured.
Attackers burst into a Halo Trust camp in Baghlan province shortly before 10pm on Tuesday, where about 110 men, mostly drawn from local communities, were resting after a day’s work clearing old explosives.
