"A security guard has turned his weapon on staff at a Kabul hospital, killing three American doctors.

The attack took place on Thursday morning at Cure International Hospital in the west of the city, said District Police Chief Hafiz Khan.

"With great sadness we confirm that three Americans were killed in the attack on Cure hospital," the US Embassy in Afghanistan said on Twitter.

Two other people have been wounded, reports said.

Mr Khan said the attacker, a member of the Afghan Police Protection Force, suddenly opened fire on the medical staff he was supposed to be protecting.

The gunman, who was wounded, is in police custody, the Interior Ministry said.

The 100-bed hospital specialises in children's and maternal care and is considered one of Afghanistan's leading hospitals. It is run by children's charity Cure.

The attack is the latest to target foreigners in the country.

Two Britons died in January when suicide attackers and gunmen killed a dozen people at a Kabul restaurant.

Nine people also died in March during an attack on an upmarket hotel restaurant in the city.

Earlier this month a man dressed as a policeman shot two Associated Press journalists, killing Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Anja Niedringhaus.

Attacks on Westerners, civilians and security services have increased this year as the country votes for a new president to replace Hamid Karzai.

Afghans voted on April 5 and preliminary results are expected this weekend.

A run-off is thought likely between former Afghan Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah and former World Bank economist Ashraf Ghani."
