KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): An elderly man has been shot dead by unknown gunmen in the Spin Boldak district of southern Kandahar province, a security official said on Tuesday.
Provincial police spokesman Mullah Asadullah Jamshid told Pajhwok Afghan News the attackers escaped after killing Atta Mohammad near the Popal Market on Monday.
The motive behind the murder remained unclear but an investigation into the incident was ongoing, Jamshid said.
Pajhwok tried to approach the victim’s family on the cause of the incident, but did not succeed.
Similar incidents have occurred in the district, lying on the Durand Line, in the past as well.
