Three Indians were killed in a Taliban suicide attack on a NATO supply company’s compound in Kabul on Tuesday.

They were working in a housing compound, when the Taliban attack began with a suicide bomb in a large truck.

Two or three insurgents fought guards for about 30-40 minutes before all the attackers were killed.

“India’s Mission is providing all assistance in bringing back the bodies of three Indians killed,” Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said.
