Suspected Taliban militants fatally shot a district judge in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, a day after alleged rebels killed a local administrator in the area, officials said. Two attackers on motorcycles shot the unidentified judge early Saturday while he was walking to work in Kandahar province's Panjwayi district, said District Chief Niaz Mohammed. Police are investigating the shooting but no arrests have been made, he was quoted as saying by The Associated Press. The attack came a day after a bomb attack killed district administrative official Mohammed Shafi in nearby Shah Wali Kot district, said provincial police chief Abdul Malik Khan. Shafi was killed early Friday when a remote-controlled mine exploded as he walked out of his house. "The Taliban was responsible," Khan said. "Police will solve the case of this terrorist attack."
