| Unknown gunmen on Wednesday killed a man and a woman in Kabul in two separate shooting incidents, police confirmed. In the first incident, in Karte-Naw, two gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on a 62-year-old woman, whose sister was killed in a similar incident in the same area last year. Jamila Halif was a teacher at a kindergarten and was killed outside the school. However, the motive is not yet clear, said police. Her family has condemned the incident and accused the government of negligence over the sister's death last year, as they say the perpetrators of that shooting were never brought to justice. The deceased's brother, Rohullah Halif, said: "I want my sister's killers to be identified otherwise I promise to set myself alight in front of everyone." An eyewitness said there had been the sound of gunshots. "When I went to look I saw the dead woman lying there." Kabul police said they are investigating the matter and are trying to find out what the motive was. Abdul Rahman Rahimi said: "So far what we can say is our investigations are underway but we assure you we will find these criminals and bring them to justice." This incident happened just hours before the second incident which saw a man being gunned down in Khair Khana area in Kabul. Unknown gunmen allegedly opened fired on Shah Mohammad near the Sayed Al-Nasiri High School. The gunmen fled the scene after killing Mohammad. His family members have also criticized government for not ensuring the safety of its citizens. Video report at the link |
