Amid a dramatic surge of targeted killings in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul, unknown gunmen on Wednesday night assassinated an Afghan Air Force (AAF) pilot and a security officer in the Ministry of Interior. There was also a civilian death reportedly connected to one of these targeted killings.
The name of the slain pilot has not been released yet, nor the name of the killed civilian, but the security officer who guarded VIPs in the Afghan government was named Arash Siyar.
