The British charity has closed its offices and suspended operations across Afghanistan, after Islamic State in Iraq and Syria militants terrorised staff who were trapped in the compound during the attack that lasted hours - the latest assault on a foreign charity in the country. Gunmen blasted their way into the compound, killing four employees and wounding 26 people, officials said in a statement.
