Labourers killed in Afghan attack

Five people have been killed in Afghanistan after armed men opened fire at a group of Pakistani construction workers on their way to work.

The interior ministry said four Pakistani nationals and one Afghan were killed in the attack on Thursday morning in the Panjwayi district in Kandahar province.

The ministry identified the attackers only as "terrorists" and said the labourers were attacked on their way to a building site operated by the SAITA road construction company.

"They were going to work when this incident took place. We are arranging transportation of their bodies back to Pakistan," Ajmal Farooqi, a company executive, said.
