KABUL, (October 07, 2003) - Attacks against aid workers in Afghanistan have increased dramatically over recent months, as the CARE chart shows at www.careusa.org/newsroom/pressreleases/2003/oct/10072003_afghanistan.asp

With their deaths, more humanitarian workers were murdered in Afghanistan in the month of September than in all the months since the fall of the Taliban two years ago.
