Aid Worker Killed in Afghan Capital
By CARLOTTA GALL
KABUL, Afghanistan — A foreign aid worker was shot dead as she walked to
work on Monday morning in a residential area of the Afghan capital, Kabul, by
two gunmen on a motorbike, police officials and witnesses said.
The aid worker, Gayle Williams, 34, was one of a team of women working with a
British Christian organization, Serve Afghanistan. Ms. Williams had been
working for two years in Afghanistan directing projects for the disabled, the
organization said in a notice on its Web site, serveafghanistan.org. She held
British and South African citizenship.
A Taliban spokesman told Agence France-Presse that the group was responsible
for the attack, saying Ms. Williams was singled out because her organization
was proselytizing. However, Serve Afghanistan, whose workers are all
volunteers, has operated in Afghanistan since 1980 and is not known for
proselytizing.
Also on Monday, five children and two German soldiers were killed by a
suicide bomber on a bicycle in a village in the northern province of Kunduz,
the provincial police chief, Gen. Razaq Yaqoobi, said. The children were
running behind the military convoy when the explosion occurred, the police
chief said.
The police also confirmed Monday the kidnapping of a former presidential
candidate and member of Afghanistan’s royal family, Homayoun Shah Asifi,
late Sunday night in the same residential district of Kabul, Karte Char,
where Ms. Williams was killed.
“Mr. Asifi was returning last night to his house and was abducted by four
armed men driving a car,” the deputy police chief of Kabul, Gen. Ali Shah
Ahmadzai, said. Mr. Asifi did not have his usual bodyguards and was driving
with an assistant and his driver, General Ahmadzai said.
The kidnapping was part of a spate of abductions of Afghans and foreigners in
recent weeks. It may be part of moves by the Taliban to increase their
terrorism campaign and increase pressure on the government and the
international forces, and at the same time raise funds through ransom demands
for their insurgency, Afghan and Western officials have said.
Most kidnappings here are the work of local criminal gangs, many of which
have connections with the police; the kidnappers demand and often receive
high ransoms. The son of a rich banker was recently kidnapped, the police
said.
Ms. Williams was killed as she was walking to her office, dressed in pants, a
long shirt and a blue veil.
Construction workers at a building site across the road said they saw the
passenger on the motorbike get off, shoot three bullets, remount and zoom
off. Her face covered by her veil, Ms. Williams’s body lay on the pavement
beside a wall for 20 minutes, the workers said, until police officers got
there. “The woman was dead when police arrived,” General Ahmadzai said.
Someone had thrown earth over the spot where she died.
“It is very shameful to kill a woman,” said Fareed Ahmad, 45, a shopkeeper
who said he was giving change to two girls on their way to school when he
heard the three shots.
The group Serve Afghanistan described Ms. Williams as an enthusiastic, stoic
individual.
“She never spoke of the rigors and privations of aid work in Kandahar, one
of the most difficult places for a young woman to work in the world, but she
kept a smile on her face and always had a good-humored chuckle at the
difficulties she must have endured,” the organization said on its Web site.
“She was killed violently while caring for the most forgotten people in the
world; the poor and the disabled,” it said.
Government officials said the killing might have been an attempt to undermine
the next interior minister, Muhammad Hanif Atmar, who won a confidence vote
for his appointment in Parliament on Monday, one Western diplomat said. Mr.
Atmar, well liked among the international organizations in Afghanistan for
his proven ability in two previous ministerial posts and for his clean
reputation, will be taking over the most corrupt ministry in the country, the
diplomat said.
Mr. Atmar is likely to face resistance as he tries to enforce reforms and
replace corrupt police officials, and the recent increase in violence may be
an early sign of that resistance, the diplomat suggested.
In a speech to Parliament, Mr. Atmar promised to improve security in the 80
violence-prone districts of Afghanistan, appoint more capable police officers
and work closely with people and community leaders in a concentrated effort
to bring security
