font size    

A score of staff with the China Railway No.14 Subsidiary Co. have left for Afghanistan via Beijing, Jiangxi Province and Zhucheng City of Shandong Province to pay condolences to the relatives of the dead victims and to handle matters related to terrorist attack in Afghanistan on June 10.

The team of the China Railway No.14 Subsidiary Co., based in Jinan, capital of east China's Shandong Province, which had employed the victims, set off on Friday with Han Fengxian, chairman of the board of the China Railway No.14 Bureau, taking the lead, said company sources.

The last of the 11 Chinese victims of the terrorist attack in Afghanistan was identified on Friday morning as Zheng Mingwen, a native of Zhucheng, Weifang City of east China's Shandong Province.

Company sources confirmed Zheng's ID number and the police of Weifang City also confirmed Zheng was from Xinxing Village of Xinxing Township, Zhucheng City of Weifang.

Ten other Chinese victims were identified by the China Railway No.14 Subsidiary Co. late Thursday. The ten, aged from 31 to 56, were from Shangrao City in eastern China's Jiangxi Province and employed by the company before they died.

More than 20 gunmen raided a Chinese construction site in northern Afghanistan early Thursday, and 11 Chinese workers have so far been confirmed killed.

The four wounded, including one badly injured, have been sent to a hospital in Kunduz Province, where medical staff of the United Nations are also helping with the treatment, said the Chinese Foreign Ministry Thursday.

China Railway No.14 Subsidiary Co. sent an engineering team, consisting of 61 Chinese, to Afghanistan for a reconstruction project of the Kunduz Highway, according to the contract signed by the two sides last October.
