BEIJING (AP) - Ten Chinese construction workers were killed Thursday in northern Afghanistan when "armed terrorists" opened fire at a construction site, China’s government said. About 20 gunmen attacked the construction site in the province of Kondoz at about 1 a.m., the official Xinhua News Agency said, citing Chinese diplomats. It said security guards exchanged fire with the attackers but didn’t say whether any of the gunmen were hit. Six Chinese workers also were injured, one of them critically, the report said. It didn’t give any other details and the press office of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in Beijing said it had no additional information.
