Former AusAid adviser who was target of suicide bomb says Australia must evacuate his colleagues
A former Australian foreign affairs staffer who was the target of a suicide bombing in Afghanistan after receiving Taliban “night letters” is pleading for the evacuation of his former Afghan colleagues, amid reports at least nine locally employed workers have been killed in recent days.
David Savage was sent on secondment to Afghanistan in 2011 as an AusAid stabilisation adviser in a remote and volatile province under the security mandate of an Australian-led international military force.
