Afghan Police: Gunmen Kill German, Afghan Citizens

Published November 17, 2014

KABUL, Afghanistan -- Afghan police say militants have killed a German tourist and an Afghan civilian in a relatively stable area of central Afghanistan.

Deputy provincial police chief Abdul Rashid Bashir says the German man was riding in a vehicle with three Afghans when they were ambushed late Saturday afternoon by two armed gunmen on a motorbike in Dawlat Yar district of Ghor province. After a small argument, the gunmen fatally shot the German and an Afghan man. The two other Afghan civilians were wounded in the attack.

Bashir says the group had traveled from Herat province in the west and was heading to Bamiyan province.

Bamiyan is home to the country's first national park and was where the Taliban dynamited two giant, 1,500-year-old Buddha statues a decade ago.
