KANDAHAR : Two suicide attackers dressed in burqas were killed in a gunfight outside the offices of a US aid group in Afghanistan on Wednesday near the site of a major US-led military operation.

Three people, including two foreigners, were wounded in the shoot-out with guards at the International Relief and Development (IRD) compound in Lashkar Gah, capital of volatile Helmand province, Afghan officials said.

"The two suicide bombers were shot and killed by the IRD guards. Luckily their explosives did not explode," provincial spokesman Daud Ahmadi told AFP.

"Three people working for IRD have been wounded in today's incident," he said.

"An Afghan woman working for IRD has been seriously wounded, a foreign woman and a foreign man have also been wounded," he added.

A spokesman for the British embassy in Kabul said the wounded man was a British national working for a private security firm.

The nationality of the injured foreign woman could not be immediately confirmed.
