Two foreigner shot dead in Kabul: Afganistan

Unknown gunmen have killed three people in the Afghan capital, Kabul, including two foreigners, police said.

Some reports say the attack took place in front of the offices of the courier company DHL and that the two dead foreigners are Germans.

Two other people were hurt in the attack, which took place the Sher Pur area, where many foreigners live.

It comes after an aid worker with dual South African and British nationality was shot dead in Kabul on Monday.

Taleban militants reportedly said they had killed Gayle Williams, 34, because she was working for a Christian group.

The attacks come amid rising violence in Afghanistan, including the killing of three foreign women in Kabul in August.

The BBC's Martin Patience, in Kabul, says that until recently the centre of the capital has been regarded as relatively safe.

But the latest attacks will raise serious safety concerns, especially among foreigners
