JINAN, June 10 (Xinhuanet) -- Ten Chinese victims from a terrorist attack in Afghanistan Thursday had been identified by the China Railway Shisiju Group Corporation (CRSGC).
The workers, aged from 31 to 56, are from Shangrao City in eastern China's Jiangxi Province and employed in the CRSGC before they died, according to the corporation.
Following is the list of the victims:
Xu Qitai, 56, Liu Shumei, 49, Cheng Guangren, 46, Zhou Wenwu, 44, Xia Xuexin, 41, Yu Shanguo, 37, Jiang Jiashu, 37, Chen Zhongfu, 36, Xiang Weihou, 35, Zhang Nianchun, 31.
More than 20 gunmen raided a Chinese construction site in northern Afghanistan early Thursday, and 11 Chinese workers have so far been confirmed killed. One victim left yet to be identified.
The four wounded, including one badly injured, have been sent to a hospital in Kunduz Province, where medical staff of the United Nations are also helping with the treatment, said Chinese Foreign Ministry Thursday.
The CRSGC sent an engineering team, consisting of 61 Chinese, to Afghanistan for a reconstruction project of Kunduz Highway according to the contract signed by the two sides last October. Enditem |
