The killing of a team of
eye medics, including eight Christian aid workers, in a remote area of
Afghanistan last week was likely the work of opportunistic gunmen whose motives
are not yet clear, the head of the medical organization said Thursday.
On Aug. 6, 10 medical workers were found shot dead next to their
bullet-ridden Land Rovers. The team of two Afghan helpers and eight Christian
foreigners worked for the International Assistance Mission (IAM). They were on
their way back to Kabul after having provided medical care to Afghans in one of
the country's remotest areas.
