While the bodies of eleven Chinese construction workers who were murdered in Afghanistan last Thursday are being transported back to China by plane, ten individuals accused of the murders have been arrested in Afghanistan. Today, eleven wooden coffins, each wrapped in the Chinese flag, were taken to Kabul Airport and loaded onto a Chinese cargo plane. Before the flight to Tangchang city in eastern China, where most of the deceased were born, a brief memorial service was held. These eleven individuals were employed by a Chinese construction company that is building roads in Afghanistan with funding provided by the World Bank. They were killed by gunfire from militants while they were sleeping in their labor camp in Kunduz province.
