Lieutenant Islam Bibi, the most senior policewoman in volatile southern Helmand province, was shot dead on her way to work in the provincial capital Lashkar Gah, officials said.
"Islam Bibi was going to work this morning with her son-in-law on the back of a motorbike when two gunmen opened fire," said Omar Zwak, a spokesperson for the provincial governor. "She died in the hospital, but her son-in-law survived."
Zwak said the 37-year-old mother of three had probably been killed by Taliban insurgents, though they had not claimed responsibility for the attack.
