Two Female Judges Killed In Targeted Attack In Kabul - Reports

KABUL (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 17th January, 2021) An armed attack in Afghanistan's capital Kabul killed two female judges and left two people wounded, media reported Sunday.

According to Afghan broadcaster 1TV news, gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire at a moving car, hitting the two judges and their driver.

Sunday's attack was the latest in a string of targeted femicidal attacks in the country.

Earlier in the week, Sputnik learned that two female soldiers were killed in the Balkh province in a similar attack.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

The Taliban, and other radical Islamist groups in Afghanistan, adhere to a radical reading of Sharia law which prohibits women from working, much less holding government positions.
