Briton and South African colleague killed in Kabul

A BRITISH man and his colleague were murdered outside their office in Kabul by a security guard who then committed suicide, Afghan police said.

David Giles, an employee of shipping firm DHL, died in the gun attack at around 8.30am local time on Saturday, raising concerns for the safety of Western workers in the capital.

He was killed alongside a South African colleague. The pair were reportedly director and deputy director for DHL in Afghanistan, but the Foreign Office has not yet confirmed any more details about the Briton.
