Police: Ex-Afghan female lawmaker, guard shot dead at home

January 15, 2023

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A former Afghan female lawmaker and her bodyguard have been shot dead by unknown assailants at her home in the capital, Kabul, police said Sunday.

Mursal Nabizada was among the few female parliamentarians who stayed in Kabul after the Taliban seized power in August 2021.

It is the first time a lawmaker from the previous administration has been killed in the city since the takeover.

Local police chief Molvi Hamidullah Khalid said Nabizada and her guard were shot dead around 3 a.m. Saturday in the same room.

I don't know how to reach her, emotionally.

She's so bitter toward Biden for pulling out - and me, indirectly.

When I reach out, she is reactive towards me.

Tho she's in Canada, she has sisters left in Afghanistan along with their families.

I will send her money for her birthday in February, again. I don't know how else to help her deal with this.

Many Americans don't know how modern Afghanistan was in the 1970s.
