Officials in Afghanistan said Sunday two female judges working for the Supreme Court were shot dead in the capital, Kabul, the latest victims of targeted killings in recent months.
A court spokesman said the slain judges were on their way to work in the morning when unknown assailants ambushed and fired on their official vehicle.
The city police confirmed a third female judge and the women’s driver were also wounded in the attack, saying an investigation is underway.
No one immediately took responsibility for the deadly ambush.
