Two Afghans die after grenade attack
Two Afghan interpreters died today after being wounded in a grenade attack on an international peacekeepers’ base in Kabul.
One had worked for the troops and the other for a French charity.
Two French nationals were injured in yesterday’s attack, one of them seriously, said British Major Gordon Mackenzie, a spokesman for the international force.
A man suspected of being the assailant was killed in the blast.
A second man was found with grenades but was overpowered and arrested before he could detonate them, said Abdul Raouf Taj, divisional police chief in Kabul. No peacekeepers were hurt.
