                     Six Aid Workers Dead in Afghan Attack

   Suspected Taliban gunmen have killed six aid workers in Afghanistan and
   wounded a seventh.
   Police in Afghanistan`s northern province of Faryab said Wednesday that
   the attackers targeted local workers for a French aid group known as
   ACTED.
   ACTED released a statement saying its workers, who were Afghans, were
   ambushed and gunned down as they were traveling by car in Faryab
   province. Of seven passengers in the car, only one survived.
   ACTED said it strongly condemns the attack. An investigation is
   underway.
   Taliban attacks in Afghanistan have increased as NATO coalition forces
   prepare to withdraw from the country next year.
