The South African head of an international aid group, his two children and an Afghan have been killed in an attack on a guesthouse in Kabul.

Police chief General Mohammed Zahir said the four were killed in the attack the day before, revising an earlier toll. He gave no ages for the children, and did not identify the organisation.

Gen Zahir said one of the three attackers wore a police uniform. The police chief’s spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai later confirmed Gen Zahir had resigned his post, without providing details.

Qadam Shah Shaheem, commander of the Afghan army’s 111 Military Corps Kabul, said yesterday that one Taliban fighter was killed when his suicide vest exploded and the other two attackers were shot.

So pitiful...

This is Bad.

RiP to the dead.
