Shot policewoman dies in Afghanistan

A TOP Afghan policewoman has died from gunshot wounds inflicted by unknown attackers, just months after her predecessor was slain.

Sub-Inspector Negar, 38, suffered a bullet wound to the neck.

She was buying grass for her lambs outside her home when two gunmen rode up on a motorbike and fired at her, said Omar Zawak, a spokesman for the governor of Helmand province on Sunday.

Her bodyguards fired back at the gunmen but the attackers escaped.

Negar known by just one name, was a sub-inspector in the police criminal investigation department in Helmand province.

Zawak and police spokesman Fareed Ahmad Obaidi said she died early on Monday.

She'd spoken out about the need for female police officers in Afghanistan, which has seen a string of attacks on prominent women.

Negar's predecessor as top female officer in Helmand, Islam Bibi, was gunned down in July.

Women make up just one per cent of police officers in Afghanistan. They often face threats from militants as well as their own families.
