Insurgents Attack Red Cross Compound

In Kabul, Afghanistan, suicide bombers attacked the International Committee of the Red Cross on Wednesday. The organization has been in Afghanistan for over thirty years and had never had any problems with any groups. The Red Cross has actually always received praise from every side of the spectrum. All employees were evacuated by security forces and only one was injured. There was one guard killed and the other guard was injured. There were multiple suicide bombers who came to the entrance of the compound and were killed. Although the compound is guarded, the guards are not armed so therefore could not fight back at all.
