Three Americans from one family among casualties in Kabul attack --- Afghan police officer at Kabul's Cure hospital opens fire on group of foreigners, killing three men and wounding a woman -- Three Americans belonging to one family were among the casualties of a deadly shooting at a Kabul hospital on Thursday morning. -- An Afghan police officer who had recently started working as an armed guard at Kabul's Cure hospital opened fire on a group of foreigners entering the hospital, killing three men and wounding a woman, local officials said. -- Of the three men killed, one was a paediatric specialist who had worked at the hospital for the past seven years. His father was also killed in the attack, and the specialist's wife was the woman wounded, according to a friend of the doctor who asked not to be named. -- The third man has not been identified, but the US embassy confirmed that the three men killed were American citizens. -- The hospital, run by US-based Christian medical charity Cure, specialises in surgery and maternal and child health, treating 37,000 patients annually and hosting one of Afghanistan's largest premature birth wards. -- The police officer, who like many Afghans uses one name – Ayunullah – started his new role about ten days ago, according to local people who knew him. -- Abdul Waseem, a taxi driver stationed outside the hospital, said Ayunullah was a Pashtun from Laghman province. -- "He looked about 25 or 28 years old, a young man. He was good, but looking a bit nervous," he added. -- Waseem said that about 10 minutes after a van carrying the Americans had driven through the gates he heard a volley of gunshots. - More, Guardian, at: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/24/americans-one-family-kabul-afghan-hospital-attack
