Incident: Mine (fatalities), Afghanistan
Nick writes in with a pointer to a news story about three Afghan aid workers killed, and a fourth wounded, when their car hit a mine south of Kabul. The NGO they worked for was not identified. Condolences to family, friends and colleagues. 9/21/06 Update - A reader writes in that the victims were security staff associated with a USAID project. Any additional confirmation on this would be appreciated. 9/24/06 Update - An email from ANSO states this was not an NGO security incident. "The 3 killed and 1 wounded (all National Staff) were NOT aid workers. They belonged to a Private Security Company that was protecting a water project of a contractor (Not NGO). They were attacked during their guard shift rotation for which they travelled on the same road at the same time every day."

Be advised that there were no aid workers killed in this attack. These were private security personnel who were working in support of a USAID project.
