Sun 17 January 2021:
Gunmen have shot dead two Afghan women judges working for the Supreme Court during an early morning ambush in the country’s capital, officials said, as a wave of assassinations continues to rattle the nation.
Sunday’s attack on the judges happened as they were travelling to their office in a court vehicle, said Ahmad Fahim Qaweem, a spokesman for the court.
The incident happened in the Qala-e-Fathullah area of Kabul and no one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
“Unfortunately, we have lost two women judges in today’s attack. Their driver is wounded,” Qaweem said.
