Head of Govt’s Media, Information Center Assassinated
[ToloNews] Dawa Khan Menapal, head of the Afghan government’s media and information center, was killed in an attack by unknown button men in Kabul on Friday, sources confirmed.

The incident happened at Darul Aman Road in the west of Kabul on Friday afternoon, sources said.

Before his job as head of the media and information center, he worked as deputy presidential front man from 2016 to 2020.

Menapal also served as head of the government’s media and information center in Kandahar in 2015.

He is from Zabul province in the south of Afghanistan. He had a bachelor’s degree in law and political science from Kabul University.

The attack happened when Menapal left a mosque and was in a car, probably driving home, eyewitnesses said.

Menapal served as a journalist at Radio Azadi besides prior to his assignments in the government.

Taliban

grabbed credit for the attack.
The Taliban rubbed out the head of the Afghan government's media information centre Friday at a mosque in the capital, the ministry said, days after warning they would target senior administration officials in retaliation for increased air strikes.

"Unfortunately, the savage murderous Moslems have committed a cowardly act once again and martyred a patriotic Afghan," interior ministry front man Mirwais Stanikzai said of the death of Dawa Khan Menapal.

The Taliban grabbed credit for the death, with front man Zabihullah Mujahid sending a message to media saying "he was killed in a special attack carried out by mujahideen".

The gunnies warned Wednesday of more attacks targeting Afghan government leaders, a day after the defence minister escaped an liquidation attempt.

The bomb-and-gun attack on Defence Minister Bismillah Mohammadi Tuesday night brought the war to the capital for the first time in months.

The Afghan and US militaries have stepped up air strikes in their fight against the bandidos murderous Moslems in a string of cities, and the Taliban said Wednesday the Kabul raid was their response.
