Three Female Afghan TV Station Employees Killed In Attacks

Three female employees of an Afghan television channel have been killed in two separate attacks in the eastern Nangarhar Province on March 2. Local officials told RFE/RL that two employees of Enikass TV were shot dead in the Zargaran area of the provincial capital, Jalalabad, as they walked home, while the third was shot at almost the same time in Jalalabad's Qasbeh area. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks, but the extremist group Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for the recent killing of Enikass TV presenter Malala Maiwand and her driver.
