The most senior woman police officer in Afghanistan’s troubled Helmand province has died in hospital after being shot by unidentified gunmen, officials said on Monday.
Lieutenant Negar, known only by her surname, was shot near the police headquarters in the provincial capital, Lashkar Gar.
The attack came months after her female predecessor, Islam Bibi, was killed.
Lt Bibi, a high profile officer seen as a role model for women, was shot dead in July on her way to work.
Negar was shot by a gunman on a motorbike, officials say.
Helmand governor’s spokesman Omar Zawak said the 38-year-old suffered a bullet wound to the neck.
She served as a sub-inspector in the police criminal investigation department in Helmand.
She took over when 37-year-old Islam Bibi was shot dead in July. The commander of 32 female police officers, Lt Bibi was hailed as a role model for other women in the conservative province.
