Foreign female aid worker shot dead in Mazar city in North of Afghanistan
2017-09-12
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A female foreign aid worker has been rubbed out by gunnies in Mazar-e-Sharif city, the quiet provincial capital of Balkkh province in North of Afghanistan.

According to the local security officials, the incident took place around noon time in one of the health centers of the International Committee of the Red Thingy.

Provincial police front man Shirjan Durani confirmed the incident and said the female aid worker was rubbed out by two men who had visited the hospital for the treatment.

He said the two men who killed the female aid worker have been locked away
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
 and are in jug of the police forces.

There are no reports available regarding the identity of the dear departed aid worker and the main motive behind the incident has not been ascertained so far.
... but gratitude was probably not it.
This comes as the anti-government armed Death Eaters carried out an attack on ICRC staff members in northern Jawzjan province nearly seven months ago.

The gunnies believed to be loyalists of the ISIS terrorist group also kidnapped a number of the ICRC staff member after the attack.

However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
 the ICRC organization last week informed regarding the release of the hostages but provided no details regarding the circumstances surrounding their release.
The Local - Spain adds:
A Spanish physiotherapist working for the Red Cross in northern Afghanistan was shot and killed Monday by a wheelchair-bound patient, in the latest attack on the international charity. The woman was shot inside the aid group's orthopaedic centre in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif, Thomas Glass, spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, told AFP. The victim, who has not been identified, was taken to the NATO military base hospital at Camp Marmal where she died of her wounds.

Two people have been arrested over the deadly attack, including the 21-year-old shooter who police said was a "regular patient".

"He had hidden the pistol in his wheelchair which he used to shoot the victim," police spokesman Shir Jan Durrani told AFP.

Deputy police chief Abdul Razaq Qaderi said the man "opened fire on the doctor as soon as she entered the consultation room".
