Radio station owner killed in Afghanistan

The motive is unknown? I think I know! Here is a quote I found on TheReligionofPeace.com :

The revered Islamic scholar, al-Ghazali, who has been called 'the greatest Muslim after Muhammad,' writes that the role of a Muslim woman is to "stay at home and get on with her sewing. She should not go out often, she must not be well-informed, nor must she be communicative with her neighbors and only visit them when absolutely necessary; she should take care of her husband... and seek to satisfy him in everything... Her sole worry should be her virtue... She should be clean and ready to satisfy her husband's sexual needs at any moment." [as quoted from Ibn Warraq]

KABUL — Three gunmen shot and killed a female owner of a radio station in northern Afghanistan on Wednesday, a few days after another female reporter was gunned down in her house, officials said.

Zakia Zaki, the owner and the manager of Peace Radio in Parwan province, was shot seven times by pistol and automatic rifle fire in front of her 8-year old son inside her house in the town of Jabalussaraj, said provincial Governor Abdul Jabar Takwa.

The motive for the shooting was not immediately known, he said.

“The people were happy with her radio station, and she was providing information for Parwan, Kapisa and Kabul provinces,” Mr. Takwa said.

Following the shooting, the gunmen jumped over the wall and fled, Mr. Takwa said.

Ms. Zaki lead the radio station since it opened after the fall of the Taliban in October 2001, he said.

Another female reporter, Shokiba Sanga Amaaj, was shot inside her house in Kabul on Friday by two male relatives, said General Ali Shah Paktiawal, the Kabul police director of criminal investigations."
