At least 10 people working to clear mines in northern Afghanistan were killed by gunmen in an attack on Tuesday, according to international demining organization Halo Trust.
Halo did not attribute blame for the attack, saying only that an "unknown armed group" carried it out on their camp. Afghan officials blamed it on Taliban insurgents. The insurgents, fighting to overthrow Afghanistan's foreign-backed government, denied involvement in the attack on the camp in the northern province of Baghlan, where fighting has been heavy in recent weeks.More Related News
