Prominent Former Afghan TV Journalist Shot Dead In Kabul.



Afghan officials say prominent former television journalist Mena Mangal has been shot dead in Kabul.

Interior Ministry spokesman Nasrat Raimi said Mangal was shot dead in Kabul's 8th district early on May 11 as she was waiting for a car.

Witnesses to the shooting near Kabul's Karte Naw market told RFE/RL that two men appeared on a motorcycle and fired four shots into the air to disperse passersby. They then fired two shots that hit Mangal in the chest.

Mangal's relatives confirmed that she had been waiting for a ride to take her to her job as a cultural adviser to the Wolesi Jirga, the lower chamber of Afghanistan's parliament.

The gunmen then fled the scene.

Police spokesman Ferdows Faramarz told RFE/RL that "all aspects of the case" were under investigation, adding that Mangal's father had named a possible suspect.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the killing.
