Kabul, Afghanistan -- Armed militants clad in suicide vests were killed Saturday after they attacked the U.N. compound in the western Afghan city of Herat, local governor's spokesman said.
"We believe that three or four of the attackers who were killed were prepared with suicide vests," Naqiubullah Arwin, spokesman for the governor of Herat.
Herat province and the city of the same name have not experienced the high level of violence that other regions of Afghanistan have endured.
A U.N. official did not provide much detail, but said the organization was aware of the incident and was trying to get more information from local officials.
