24 Nepali workers return from Kabul,, they never expected to return like this quickly..

For years, Nepali uniformed guards at foreign embassies and compounds across Kabul have been a polite, low-key presence in the gritty Afghan capital, which has been toughened by decades of conflict and is teeming with swaggering gunmen. The guards, all Buddhists or Hindus, often greet familiar visitors with a traditional gesture, bowing slightly with palms raised and pressed together, as they monitor X-ray machines and entryways.On Monday morning, several of them were killed when a suicide bomber targeted a minibus carrying guards across the city from a fortified dormitory compound to their posts at the Canadian Embassy. The attack occurred just one month after a Nepali guard was fatally shot by an Afghan guard at a U.N. compound in Kabul, reportedly in a dispute.

Along with the mortal remains of 12 Nepalis killed in the Monday’s suicide bombing in Kabul, twenty-four Nepalis working in Afghanistan have also made their way back home on Wednesday.All returning Nepalis were working as security guards in the Canadian embassy.The government had sent a Nepal Airlines chartered flight on Wednesday morning to bring back the bodies of the victims killed in the suicide bombing. Ministry of Foreign Affairs had made arrangements to allow other Nepalis to board the flight back to Nepal.
