| 2022-10-11 |
| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] Local sources reported that two brothers were shot at by armed robbers in the Badghis province of northwest Afghanistan. One brother was killed and the other was injured, and the brothers’ motorcycle was taken. The two brothers were traveling on a motorcycle when they were stopped and cornered by the armed robbers, who then shot at them and stole their motorcycle, according to the sources. The sources said that the incident took place on Sunday, October 9, when the two brothers were headed to Qala-e-Naw, the provincial capital of Badghis. Mohammad Usman, whose brother was also wounded, is the victim who passed away after being shot by the armed robbers, according to local media reports. Local Taliban security officials confirmed the veracity of the news and also stated that two people have been arrested in connection with the robbery that led to murder. Meanwhile kilometers away from Badghis, unidentified gunmen in the northern Afghan province of Faryab killed a man. While the Taliban have yet to determine the cause and motive of the criminal act, the perpetrators have fled the crime scene. This comes as poverty, unemployment, and hunger have skyrocketed in Afghanistan since the Taliban seized power, leading to a significant rise in crime rates and crime victims. |
