 Hooded men on a motorcycle assassinated deputy chief of a provincial court in the comparatively calm western parts of Afghanistan, officials said Wednesday. The judge named Sheikh Ahmad was shot dead while he was coming back home after evening prayer in the provincial capital of the Farah province last night. Governor Eizatullah Wasefi said the attackers, who managed to flee the scene after committing the crime, had covered their faces. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. In a suicide attack that rocked the central capital Kabul on Tuesday, two people, including the attacker, were killed and two other suffered injuries. |
