Female ANP leader killed in Pakistan

Gunmen shot dead a secular female politician from Pakistan’s troubled northwest after breaking into her home at night, police said yesterday.
Najma Hanif, 35, was a senior member of the Awami National Pary (ANP) which is known for its outspoken views against the Taliban and backed military operations against the insurgents while it ruled the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Police said the attackers, who have not yet been identified, used a silenced pistol.
“One or two attackers entered the house and killed her,” a police officer said.
The motive behind the shooting was unclear.
