Three members of a family were killed in an attack by unknown gunmen on Thursday night in the western Ghor province, a local journalist told Kabul Now.
Najibullah Nazari, a local journalist, told Kabul Now that last night unknown gunmen attacked on house belonging to the slain journalist Besmillah Adil Aimaq in Tigha Timor area 15 km to the west of Feroz Koh, the capital of Ghor province.
Aimaq’s 13-year old nephew, his brother, and cousin were killed in the attack, Nazari said.
A government source in Ghor confirmed the news.
On January 01, Besmillah Adil Aimaq, the head of Radio Sada-e-Ghor, was shot dead by gunmen in Ghor province, a local official confirmed. Besmillah was en route to Feroz Koh, the capital of Ghor, when unknown gunmen opened fire at the vehicle he was in.
Earlier last month, the National Directorate of Security (NDS) accused Ezatullah Bek, a member of Ghor Provincial Council, to have hand in Besmillah Aimaq’s assassination. Bek was killed in a gun battle erupted between the NDS forces and his security guards.
