S. African Aid Worker, Children Killed in Afghanistan

A South African doctor is still working in an Afghanistan hospital, after Taliban suicide attackers killed her husband and family Saturday evening.

Hannelie Groenewald 's husband, 46-year-old Werner Groenwald, was an NGO aid worker. He was killed along with his son, Jean-Pierre, 17, and daughter, Rode, who was 15.

Two others were killed and several others were wounded in the attack.

"I heard gunshots, maybe from AK-47 or pistols, and ran towards the basement. Then I heard explosions of grenades. I live just next to the attack site," said Mohammed Jon, a resident.

According to Teresa Conradie, the lawyer of Hannelie Groenewald, she remains safe and is working in a Kabul hospital until her family's bodies are sent back to South Africa for burial.

Three Taliban militants stormed the office of a foreign aid group where the family lived on Saturday. The aid office was closed after the attack.

A group called Partnership in Academics and Development based in Redlands, California, posted a notice on its website saying several of its staffers died during an attack Saturday in Kabul.

"We are caring for all staff and their families as they grieve the loss of their friends and co-workers and nurse the wounded," the statement read. "Our thoughts are with the survivors and their families as they grieve the loss of life. Their selfless sacrifice for the people of Afghanistan is an inspiration to all."

Kabul Police Chief Gen. Mohammed Zahir resigned after the latest insurgent attack.

South African authorities are assisting Groenewald with an emergency passport and returning her family's remains.

This is the eleventh suicide attack in the past two weeks in Kabul, leaving more than 10 killed and nearly 100 others injured.
