A Taliban attack on a foreign compound in Kabul on Saturday killed a South African father, son and daughter, police said, without giving further details about their age or identity.
"Four people, including three foreign nationals -- the head of a foreign organisation, his son and his daughter -- and one Afghan were killed in yesterday's attack," General Zahir Zahir, Kabul police chief, told reporters, adding they were from South Africa.
Zahir resigned later Sunday after a spate of attacks in the city in recent weeks.
