		The assault on the Medecins Sans Frontieres operation in northern Afghanistan's Badghis province was the deadliest on foreign aid workers since the radical Islamic militia was ousted in late 2001 and cast new doubt on the country's readiness for national elections slated for September.
		The foreign aid workers — a Norwegian doctor, a Dutch logistician and the Belgian project coordinator — and their Afghan driver and translator were killed when attackers on a motorcycle shredded a four-wheel-drive Toyota painted with the organization's red logo with assault rifles and grenades.
		MSF employs 80 expatriates and 1,400 local people in twelve Afghan provinces, and the suspension reflected an immediate increase in fear that an insurgency that has already severely limited operations by relief agencies in the south and east of the country could be spreading.
