From Tolo News:
Relatives of Nabizada said that button men killed her and a guard on Sunday morning at her house.

"I heard the gunfire and when we went down, they (attackers) had left and my daughter was lying on the ground with blood on the bed alongside my son. The guard was also killed," said Nabizada’s mother.

"There was no personal hostility. I don't know if it could have been a political issue, but there was no personal enmity," said the sister of Nabizada.

Mursal Nabizada was born in 1372 solar year in Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
She was elected as a member of the parliament in 2018 in the 17th round of the Lower House of parliament to represent the people of the capital city, Kabul.

Nabizada, 32, hailed from the eastern province of Nangarhar, and had been elected as a member of parliament from Kabul in 2018.
