18-year-old Afghan woman slain in campaign of fear (AP)

April 13th, 2010

Afghan women walk in downtown Kandahar city, south of Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Eight years after the U.S.-led invasion ousted the Taliban from power, fear again dominates the lives of many young women and girls in the violent south, the stronghold of a revived Islamist insurgency that curbed women's rights when it ruled most of the country until the 2001 U.S.-led invasion. (AP Photo/Rahmat Gul)AP - A gunman lying in wait shot and killed an 18-year-old woman as she left her job at a U.S.-based development company Tuesday, casting a spotlight on a stepped-up campaign of Taliban intimidation against women in this southern city where U.S. troops plan a major operation in the coming weeks.
