Leading Afghan cleric shot dead - BBC

Gunmen have killed a leading cleric and opponent of the Taleban in southern Afghanistan, police said.

Mawlavi Abdullah Fayaz was attacked by gunmen on a motorcycle as he left his office in the city of Kandahar.

Last week Mr Fayaz, a key supporter of President Hamid Karzai, had given a strong speech denouncing Taleban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar.

Taleban spokesman Abdul Latif Hakimi told AFP it carried out the killing but this was not independently confirmed.
