April 24, 2014 Afghan Guard Shoots Kills 3 American Doctors in Kabul Three Americans were shot and killed by an Afghan security guard who opened fire on five doctors. An American nurse was also wounded. The motive was unclear since the Taliban did not claim responsibility. It was the second insider attack after April 4th shooting of AP photojournalists by an Afghan policeman, as media noted that attacks have shifted towards civilians as troops have been withdrawing. Filipino-American pediatrician Jerry Umanos from Chicago was one of the victims. The Telegraph reported in 2010 British doctor Karen Woo was among a group of 8 doctors who were killed by the Taliban in bullet riddled cars in Afghanistan. Salon reported in 2012, a Navy SEAL was killed in a rescue of a US doctor in Afghanistan.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Three Americans including a half-Filipino doctor were killed by an Afghan government security officer at a hospital Thursday, the latest in a series of attacks on foreign civilians that has rattled aid workers, contractors and journalists.Another American, a female medical worker, was wounded in the attack at Cure International Hospital of Kabul, run by a U.S.-based Christian charity, and the gunman also was wounded, officials said.The hospital staff performed surgery on the attacker, who had shot himself, before he was handed over to Afghan authorities, Cure said in a statement. However, Interior spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said the assailant was shot by other security guards.The attacker's motive was not clear, police said, and there was no Taliban claim of responsibility by Thursday night.As international troops withdraw, civilian workers increasingly fear they are considered prime targets by militants. Some are rethinking their safety — and even if they will stay.All three of the dead were identified as American doctors by Bektash Torkystani, a Health Ministry spokesman. But the U.S. Embassy confirmed only that three American citizens had been killed. Cure said a doctor was one of three people killed.
Among the dead was Dr. Jerry Umanos, a 57-year-old pediatrician from Chicago, according to his mother-in-law, Angie Schuitema. The Lawndale Christian Health Center in Chicago said Umanos worked there for more than 16 years before moving to Afghanistan in 2005.The Philippine Embassy in Washington D.C. said Umanos was a Filipino-American.

The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan confirmed Thursday that three American doctors were killed by an Afghan security guard who opened fire at a Kabul hospital.
shooting was the latest in a string of deadly attacks on foreign civilians in the Afghan capital this year. Two of the dead Americans were a father and son, Minister of Health Soraya Dalil said, adding that the third American was a Cure International doctor who had worked for seven years in Kabul. Dalil said an American nurse was also wounded in the attack.."Five doctors had entered the compound of the hospital and were walking toward the building when the guard opened fire on them," Torkystani said. "Three foreign doctors were killed."..unclear whether the Taliban were behind Thursday's shooting, though the insurgents have claimed several major attacks that killed foreign civilians this year, .. second "insider attack" by a member of Afghan security forces targeting foreign civilians this month. On April 4, an Afghan police officer shot two Associated Press staff ..
As usual, there is no conceivable motive, he probably had mental problems or was a disgruntled patient. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to believe the killing might be an assassination ordered by the Taliban.
