Woman who Shot US Consultant in Kabul was from Iran

According to an Afghan official, the policewoman who killed a US consultant in Kabul Monday morning is an Iranian who came to Afghanistan 10 years ago with her husband and obtained a fake ID through him. The Interior Ministry spokesman said on Tuesday that the investigation into the woman, Sergeant Nargas, 49, did not reveal any terrorist links so far. On Monday Nargas shot 49-year-old Joseph Griffin, of Georgia, in what has become a trend of insider attacks by Afghans against their foreign allies. Griffin was a U.S. military veteran who was in Kabul on assignment to help the Afghan police force.

Sgt. Nargas, Afghan Policewoman, Kills US Adviser In Kabul

KABUL, Afghanistan — An Afghan policewoman walked into a high-security compound in Kabul Monday and killed an American contractor with a single bullet to the chest, the first such shooting by a woman in a spate of insider attacks by Afghans against their foreign allies. Afghan officials who provided details identified the attacker as police Sgt. Nargas, a mother of four with a clean record. The shooting was outside the police headquarters in a walled compound which houses the governor's office, courts and a prison in the heart of the capital. A police official said she was able to enter the compound armed because she was licensed to carry a weapon as a police officer. The American, whose identity was not released, was a civilian adviser who worked with the NATO command. He was shot as he came out of a small shop, Kabul Governor Abdul Jabar Taqwa told The Associated Press. The woman refused to explain her motive for her attack, he said.
