NEW DELHI (TIP): Five Nepalese guards, injured in a suicide attack in Kabul two days ago, are under treatment at the city-based Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, hospital authorities confirmed on June 23.

“We have received five Nepalese patients who were working as private security guards in Kabul. They are being treated for blast related injuries,” a senior authority of Apollo told IANS.

The injured Nepalese worked for private security company Sabre International to guard the Canadian embassy in Kabul.
