Militants detonated a vehicle bomb outside company’s compound on Wednesday
British security firm G4S said Thursday that five of its employees were killed and 32 injured on Wednesday in a Taliban-claimed attack on one of its compounds in Kabul.
The company, which provides security for British diplomats, said one Briton and four Afghans were killed in the attack.
Militants detonated a vehicle bomb outside the compound before trying to fight their way inside.
“It is with great sadness that we can confirm that five of our employees were killed and 32 were injured, five of them seriously,” managing director Charlie Burbridge said in a statement.
