A Kenyan woman was killed in a terrorist attack in Afghanistan last week, barely four months into her job as a security officer.
Ms Lillian Boit had previously worked with the Kenya Air Force before travelling to Kabul to work for DynCorp International.
She was killed together with three colleagues in an explosion executed by a suicide bomber on Tuesday last week.
The bomber attacked a compound used by US counter-narcotics advisers, in the latest strike by insurgents in the Afghan capital.
The attacker was riding a motorcycle and was allowed through a manned barrier before reaching the target.
Other fatalities included an Indian, a Nepali and a Fijian, international media reported.
Eleven other people were injured in the powerful explosion.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the targets were foreign spies.
