Report: Aid Worker Deaths Triple in Afghanistan 
------------------------------------------------


 
New data shows the number of aid workers killed in Afghanistan has more
than tripled this year. According to the United Nations, 36 people have
been killed in more than 200 attacks through the end of November, up
from 11 deaths in total last year. In some cases, the Taliban has openly
claimed credit for the attacks. Afghanistan is by far the most dangerous
country in the world for aid workers.
