A British medic who was among 10 aid workers killed by gunmen in an ambush in a remote area of northern Afghanistan has been named as Dr Karen Woo, according to several sources.
The bodies of the Dr Woo, six Americans, a German and two Afghan interpreters were found on Friday next to three bullet-riddled four-wheel drive vehicles in Kuran Wa Munjan district of Badakhshan province.
They had all been shot, police chief General Agha Noor Kemtuz said.
The family of Dr Woo, from Stevenage, Hertfordshire, were too upset to comment.
Dr Woo was returning to Kabul after working in an eye clinic in the Nuristan province when her convoy was attacked. She had previously worked for private healthcare firm Bupa before she decided to do aid work in Afghanistan.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the killings. The Foreign Office said it was "urgently investigating".
