Such things happen in Afghanistan! A member of the Afghan parliament was ‘mistakenly’ killed in an early morning shootout between his bodyguards and police officers. Mohammad Yunos Shirnagha, a lawmaker from northern Baghlan province, was killed as he returned home around 2:30 A.M. When Shirnagha’s vehicle arrived in the area, the police shouted for it to stop. When the driver did not stop, a gunfight broke out between police officers and bodyguards protecting Shirnagha, a member of Afghanistan’s upper house of parliament. The lawmaker’s driver also was killed and one of his friends was wounded, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.
