Al-Queda and Talibans start targeting foreigners in Afghanistan
Al-Queda and Taliban have started targeting the foreigners in specific in Afghanistan. A series of violence, shooting and bombings in recent days
A U.N. worker from Myanmar was among three people killed in a suicide attack at an Internet cafe in the Afghan capital, officials said Sunday, the latest in a string of attacks apparently targeting foreigners.
U.N. spokeswoman Ariane Quentier identified one of the victims from Saturday's blast as an employee of the U.N. Office for Project Services. She said the man was a Myanmar national, but didn''t release his name.
"He was identified this morning and his family has been informed," Quentier said.
A ministry spokesman said one of the three victims appeared to be a suicide bomber, because of the severe mutilation of his body.
The third fatality and five wounded were Afghan customers, spokesman Latfullah Mashal said.
"We suspect it was an attack on an Internet cafe where foreigners go to check their mail," Mashal said. Police have detained five people including the owner of the cafe for questioning, Mashal said.
The attack adds to tension in the capital already stoked by concern that a criminal group might try to kidnap a foreigner in Kabul.
