 Gunmen on motorbikes opened fire on Tuesday on a car taking Women Ministry employees home from a seminar in southern Afghanistan, killing the driver who was an accountant for the ministry, officials said.
| I guess a carload of women was an irresistable target. |
The two men fired on the car in Lashkar Gah city, capital of troubled Helmand province where there have been several deadly attacks on Afghan and foreign security forces blamed on Taliban-linked militants. The accountant had been driving the car because the regular drivers had left after threats from militants who said they should not work for the women's department, the provincial head of the ministry, Fauzia Ulomi, said. |
