PESHAWAR, Oct 28: Five more Pakistanis, having British passports, were killed in the US bombing on Kabul on Saturday, independent sources informed Dawn here on Sunday.

The sources said that five Pakistani nationals were killed when US war planes hit a target on the outskirts of Kabul. The sources, however, could not confirm the exact location where they were struck or the organisation they belonged to.

Among the five deceased, three persons have been identified as Afzal Muneer, Aftab Manzoor and Mohammad Omar. The sources said the deceased were British passport-holders.

They said that people from 18 countries are getting training in Afghanistan.

Few days ago, the US jets bombed a hideout in Darul Aman, Kabul, in which 18 Pakistanis, working for Harkatul Mujahideen, were killed. Eight bodies were shifted to Pakistan.
