Four people were killed and another seven injured in a shooting in the province of Bamyan, a tourist destination in Afghanistan.
Three Spanish tourists and an Afghan were killed on Friday in a shooting in the popular tourism destination of Bamiyan in central Afghanistan, local and Spanish authorities said. Afghanistan's Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Mateen Qani confirmed the four deaths, saying the victims were killed in gunfire in Bamiyan city. Another four foreigners and three Afghans were wounded, he added.
The Taliban government "strongly condemns this crime, expresses its deep feelings to the families of the victims and assures that all the criminals will be found and punished", Qani said in a statement. A local resident, who did not want to be named, said he "heard the sounds of successive gunshots, and the city streets leading to the site were blocked immediately by the security forces".
