4 doctors killed in Taliban attacks

The four doctors and their driver -- all Afghans -- were killed in the normally calm western province of Badghis when unidentified attackers stormed a health clinic late Sunday, a provincial governor said Monday.

Governor Anayatullah Anayat blamed the attack on the clinic, funded by a range of foreign non-government organisations, on "enemies of the government and peace", a term often used to refer to Taliban fighters.

Badghis has seen little of the violence that is plaguing southern and eastern Afghanistan. Those regions experience near daily attacks, mostly suicide attacks and roadside bomb blasts.
