    More than 20 gunmen raided a Chinese construction site in Afghanistan early Thursday and killed 11 Chinese workers. Ten of them were from Guangfeng County of Jiangxi Province and the other was from Zhucheng City of Shandong Province.

    Four other Chinese workers were wounded in the raid. They have been sent to a hospital in Kunduz Province of Afghanistan for medical treatment, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

    Most families of the killed workers from Jiangxi are poor. The Education Bureau of the Guangfeng county government has pledged that children of the victims would be exempted from tuition fees for compulsory education. If they are qualified for senior middle school or college education, they will get more financial aids, officials in the bureau said.

    In addition, local insurance companies of Shangrao City and Guangfeng County have provided spouses of the killed workers with life insurance policies worth 20,000 yuan each.

    The China Railway No.14 Subsidiary Co, with headquarters in Jinan, capital of east China's Shandong Province, sent an engineering team, consisting of 61 Chinese, to Afghanistan for a project of the Kunduz Highway, according to the contract signed bythe two sides last October. Enditem
