On June 20, 2016, at around 0600 AFT, a suicide bombing attack claimed to be conducted by the Taliban or the Islamic State in Khorasan Province (IS-KP)[1] hit a convoy of Canadian embassy security guards en route to the embassy in Kabul.[2] The attack took place in the ninth police district in the Benayi area, Kabul, Afghanistan. Thirteen Nepalese and two Indian contractors were killed in the attack.[citation needed]

The attack occurred during the holy month of Ramadan. Civilians at a nearby market were among the nine people injured in the blast, some seriously. The incident sparked debates on the presence of foreign workers in conflict-countries, with many criticising the Canadian government for negligence. There have been debates on this subject before, especially after the Nisour Square massacre, a very different situation.[citation needed]
