Kabul: A former military doctor Shabir Shirzad, who served former Afghan intelligence agency, was shot dead by Taliban forces in Northern Parwan province on Friday, media reports said.

The former military doctor, aged 32, while he was heading to the capital city of Kabul was taken out from his vehicle by Taliban and was gunned down in Ghorband district on Friday around 6:00 Pm local time; his brother tweeted, as reported by Khaama Press.

His brother, Sameer Shirzad, said that he had been living in Islamabad, Pakistan, and recently returned to Afghanistan to participate in the funeral ceremony of his slain uncle.

He also added that Mullah Jan Agha, a local Taliban commander in the district, had murdered his brother.

The Taliban rulers of the country did not comment on the issue so far.
