Four Afghanistan aid workers killed

http://english.aljazeera.net/Articles/News/GlobalNews/Four+Afghanistan+aid+workers+killed.htm

Four aid workers were killed in an ambush in eastern Afghanistan, according to refugee officials.

The Danish Committee for Aid to Afghan Refugees (DACAAR) sent five employees to Ghazni province on Tuesday when they were attacked by armed men.

The ambush occurred on a road in the district of Ab Band, about 150km south of the capital Kabul.

The unidentified assailants pulled the passengers out of the car before shooting them, but the fifth passenger escaped with injuries.

2. I don't remember any aid workers being killed there before we invaded

Maybe they were being killed before then and I have just forgotten?
