3 U.S. Doctors Killed in Afghan Shooting 
-----------------------------------------


 
A shooting at a hospital in the Afghan capital of Kabul has killed three
American doctors. The shooter is said to be an Afghan security guard who
worked at the facility. Two others were wounded. A spokesperson for the
Afghan Interior Ministry announced the attack.

Sediq Sediqqi: "The attacker was a police security guard there, and he
opens fire on foreign nationals who were there. Unfortunately, three of
them have been killed. One is injured, and the injured has been taken to
the hospital. And the police has arrested the attacker, as well, so we
will investigate to find out the motives behind this attack."

The hospital is run by CURE International, a U.S.-based Christian group.
