Provincial police chief was shot dead by a gunman in southern Afghanistan, an official said Sunday, dpa reported. "General Gulab Khan was shot dead by the gunman while checking the police posts outside his office overnight in Tirin Kot city," Uruzgan provincial spokesman Dost Mohammad Nayab said. He said another official with Khan was also killed, but did not provide further details.
