Taleban gunmen have shot dead three female international aid workers and their local driver near the Afghan capital Kabul.
The three International Rescue Committee (IRC) workers were a Canadian, a British-Canadian and a Trinidadian-American.
Five gunmen carried out an ambush in Logar province and opened fire with Kalashnikovs, a wounded survivor said.
A Taleban spokesman described the aid workers as foreign spies.
Aid agencies are frequently targeted in the Afghan conflict, with convoys attacked and staff abducted or killed.
