Afghan officials: 2-3 men suspected in UN attack

None

Former insurgents who had renounced the Taliban and were in a reintegration program are suspected of taking an assault rifle from a Nepalese guard and opening fire during the anti-Quran-burning riot last week that left seven UN workers dead, Afghan officials said Wednesday.

 

Parliamentarian Mohammad Akbari said government investigators have identified three men they believe were involved in the killing of three UN staff members and four Nepalese guards in the April 1 attack against the UN headquarters in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif. Four protesters also were killed. (AP)
