Bodies of 4 American aid workers headed home from Afghanistan
The bodies of four American aid workers killed in northern Afghanistan are headed to the United States.
Ten members of an International Assistance Mission medical team, eight foreigners and two Afghans, were shot and killed in Badakhshan province last week.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. embassy in Afghanistan, Caitlin Hayden, said Wednesday that the remains of four of the slain U.S. citizens have begun the journey home to their families. The bodies of two other Americans will be buried in Afghanistan, in accordance with their families' wishes.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is probing the killings, which have been condemned by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
