Explosion at Kabul Internet Cafe Kills 3

A U.N. worker from Myanmar was among three people killed in a suicide attack at an Internet cafe in the Afghan capital, officials said Sunday, the latest in a string of attacks apparently targeting foreigners.

U.N. spokeswoman Ariane Quentier identified one of the victims from Saturday's blast as an employee of the U.N. Office for Project Services. She said the man was a Myanmar national, but didn't release his name.

"He was identified this morning and his family has been informed," Quentier said.

Afghan officials said earlier they believed that the only foreign victim in the attack on the Park Net Cafe in Kabul's upscale Shahr-e-Naw district was from the Philippines. But police said Sunday they were mistaken.
