NANGAHAR, Afghanistan (July 13, 2012) — An Afghan women’s affairs official was killed Friday when a bomb attached to her vehicle exploded, critically wounding her husband and daughter, police said.

“Laghman provincial women’s affairs director Hanifa Safi was assassinated as a result of the explosion of a magnetic bomb attached to her vehicle,” provincial police chief Abdul Rahman Sarjang told AFP.

“Her daughter and husband along with four passersby were wounded.”

Safi and Laghman provincial government spokesman Sarhadi Zwak blamed Taliban insurgents for the attack.

The killing came just days after a shocking video surfaced of the execution of a woman, allegedly by Taliban Islamists, after she was accused of adultery in Parwan just north of Kabul.
