Two foreign contractors helping the U.N. prepare for landmark elections and their Afghan driver were killed in an attack in a remote eastern province, senior Afghan officials said Wednesday.
The foreigners killed in Tuesday's attack were employees of Global Risk Strategies, a London-based security firm, said Farooq Wardak, the Afghan government's top election official. He didn't have the men's names or nationalities.
"I confirm that there was an attack by a number of people and two foreigners and one Afghan were killed," said Deputy Interior Minister Hilalludin Hilal.
