Iconic Afghan policewoman shot dead.  (form the other side of the world via Al Jazeera)

Well heck.  When will women simply learn their place and be happy raising multiple children and accepting slave status?  Is that too much to ask?
Jews too. And other infidels like Christians and in fact, everyone who isn’t a talibanee.  Cretins!

A woman regarded as Afghanistan’s most prominent female police officer has been shot dead in the southern city of Kandahar, a government official has said.

Malalai Kakar, the head of the city’s department on crimes against women, was attacked by armed men on Sunday as she left her home, Zalmay Ayoobi, a Kandahar government spokesman, said.

“Today between 7am [0230 GMT] and 8am when she was [in her car] outside her house and going to her job, some gunmen attacked,” Ayoobi said.

“Malalai Kakar died in front of her house. Her son was wounded.”

Kandahar is a traditional stronghold of the Taliban, which is fighting an armed campaign against the Afghan government and US and Nato forces in the country.

Kakar, who was in her late 30s, was shot in the head, a doctor said.

“She died on the spot and her son, who was badly injured, is in a coma in the hospital,” he said without giving his name.

A spokesman for the Taliban said that the assassins were from his group.

“We killed Malalai Kakar,” Yousuf Ahmadi, spokesman told the AFP news agency, said.

“She was our target, and we successfully eliminated our target.”

Death threats

Kakar, a police captain and mother of six, led a 10-strong team of women police officers and had reportedly received numerous death threats in recent months.

She was well-respected in the police force for her bravery, one of her colleagues said on condition of anonymity.

Her work attracted attention from international media outlets interested in her work in Kandahar.

She was the first woman to enrol in the Kandahar police force after the 2001 removal of the Taliban and had been involved in investigating crimes against women and children, and conducting house searches.

The head of Kandahar province’s women’s affairs department was killed in a similar way two years ago.

Assailants shot dead a female police officer in June in the western province of Herat in what was believed to be the first assassination of a female police officer in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan’s police force was destroyed by the time the Taliban were removed and is being rebuilt with international assistance. It numbers about 80,000 people, including a few hundred women.

About 750 policemen have been killed in the past six months, mostly in Taliban-linked violence sweeping the country.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
