KABUL: An Afghan journalist has been shot dead in an attack by gunmen in the central province of Ghor.
Bismillah Adil Aimaq, the editor-in-chief of a local radio station, is the fifth journalist to be killed in the war-ravaged country in the past two months, a provincial spokesman said.
According to reports, Bismillah was on the road near Feroz Koh, the provincial capital of Ghor, returning home to the city after visiting his family in a village nearby, when gunmen opened fire at the vehicle.
Others in the car, including Aimaq’s brother, were unharmed, the provincial governor’s spokesman, Arif Abir, said.
