1 hour, 48 minutes ago

KABUL (AFP) - A female Afghan journalist was shot dead overnight,
the interior ministry said Wednesday, in the second such killing in
a week -- crimes that have raised alarm among media rights groups.

Zakia Zaki, owner and manager of private Peace Radio in a town 60
kilometres (40 miles) north of the capital Kabul, was killed in her
home late Tuesday, the ministry said.

The attackers have not yet been identified, ministry spokesman
Zemarai Bashary told AFP.

Zaki, aged in her late 30s, was also a school headmistress and
attended the 2003 meeting that drew up Afghanistan's post-Taliban
constitution.
