Unidentified gunmen attack female police officers in Herat
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Unidentified gunnies attacked two female coppers in the capital of western Herat...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... province on Sunday. Abdul Rawouf Ahmadi, spokesperson for the police headquarters of Herat said the two policewomen were on their way home in the 3rd sector of the city when unknown gunnies riding on a cycle of violence opened fire on them. According to Ahmadi, the policewomen sustained injuries in the attack and transported to Herat Regional Hospital for treatment. The gunnies who had silencers on their pistols fled the area following the attack but security agencies are looking for them. In the past, Taliban have grabbed credit for most of the attacks on security forces in Herat but the group has not yet commented about today's attack. Posted by: Fred 2016-01-25 |
