Female former Afghan lawmaker shot dead in her Kabul home — A woman looks at a picture of former Afghan lawmaker Mursal Nabizada on her mobile phone, who was shot dead by gunmen last night at her house in Kabul on Jan. 15, 2023. Mursal Nabizada had been a member of parliament in the previous Western-backed regime who had turned down the opportunity to flee Afghanistan when the Taliban seized power in August 2021. "Nabizada, along with one of her bodyguards, was shot dead at her house," Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran said on Jan. 15.

A former female Afghan lawmaker was murdered in her Kabul home early Sunday morning, according to local law enforcement.
