km south of capital city Kabul on Sunday, a senior police officer, Mohammad Jan Abid,

"Abdullah Ahmadzai, a member of Logar provincial council, was on way to office this
morning when two unidentified armed men riding a motorbike opened fire on his car,
killing Ahmadzai and his two bodyguards," Abid told Xinhua.
The incident took place in Qalai Ali Khan village outside provincial capital Pul-e-Alam city
at 09:00 a.m. local time and the attackers made their good escape, he further said.

officials, but the outfit has yet to make comment. (Xinhua)
A latest review of US-led war in Afghanistan by a leading think tank issued on Sunday
said foreign forces' draw-down by 2014 would end up with Kabul government's collapse
Around 152,000 foreign troops are in Afghanistan busy fighting the Taliban whose
activities are peaking in southern and eastern parts of the country.
The report by the International Crisis Group (ICG) which is based in Brussels said the
Nato's strategy to break the Taliban, build support among civilians, encourage rebels and
boost Afghan security forces was failing.
"There is little evidence that the operations have disrupted the insurgency's
momentum.... The Taliban are more active than ever and they still enjoy sanctuary and
support in Pakistan," said the ICG report.
