From The BBC:
Gunmen in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar have killed the country's most prominent policewoman, officials say.
Lt-Col Malalai Kakar, head of Kandahar's department of crimes against women, was shot in her car as she was about to leave for work.
Her son was also wounded in the attack, and is said to be seriously injured.
Taleban rebels, who banned women from joining the police when they were in power, said they had carried out the shooting.
"We killed Malalai Kakar," a Taleban spokesman told AFP news agency.
"She was our target, and we successfully eliminated our target."
The BBC's Martin Patience in Kabul says Ms Kakar was one of only a few hundred female police officers in Afghanistan and that she had previously received death threats.
