OTTAWA (NEWS1130) – Two accountants from a Gatineau, Que., firm were among those who died in a brutal suicide attack on Friday at a restaurant in the Afghanistan capital of Kabul.
Pierre Samson, the head of Samson and Associates, says two his employees _ a man from Gatineau and another from Ottawa _ were killed in the attack.
Samson says the two men were doing auditing work for the Canadian International Development Agency.
He says they were having dinner when the bomb went off.
Samson didn’t identify the men because his firm is still trying to get in touch with family members.
Afghan police say 21 police were killed a suicide bomber blew himself up outside the restaurant, which was filled with foreigners and affluent Afghans, while two gunmen snuck in through the back door and opened fire.
