Taliban attack Afghan aid agency, kill three

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Dozens of Taliban guerrillas attacked the compound of an Afghan aid agency with rocket-propelled grenades and machineguns on Sunday, killing three guards, officials said.

The two-hour attack on the compound of the Voluntary Association for the Rehabilitation of Afghanistan in Delaram, a town in the western province of Farah, began before dawn.

The aid group's director Najmuddin Mojadidi said two guards of the agency were killed along with another working for an Indian firm that shares the compound. snip

Last Wednesday, two U.S. soldiers were killed and one wounded in a blast caused by a improvised bomb while they were on patrol in central Afghanistan. Three German peacekeepers were slightly hurt on Friday when a similar device exploded near their vehicle in the northern town of Kunduz.
