A former Afghan translator who worked with British forces on the frontline has been assassinated by the Taliban, who boasted that he had died like a dog .
Feda Mohammad, 42, was shot several times at point blank range after reportedly driving into an ambush in an area known for attacks by insurgents.
His devastated family said yesterday that he had been killed by gunmen in a revenge attack because he had worked for Nato forces against the Taliban.
His brother Wali said Mr Mohammad had received repeated death threats and had died in a targeted killing near the border with Pakistan in Afghanistan s eastern Paktia province as he went to work at a training facility for police cadets.
