Newshour - 'These new attacks are a new level of brutality' - BBC Sounds

Two employees of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) were killed on Saturday, 27 June, in a bomb attack in the capital Kabul. They were Fatima Khalil, a Donor Liaison Officer and Jawid Folad, a driver. Officials said a magnetic bomb was attached to their car. No group has admitted responsibility. Violence has increased in Afghanistan over the past few weeks after a lull in the fighting following a brief ceasefire last month.

Shaharzad Akbar is the chair of the Human Rights Commission and Julian Marshall spoke to her just after she had returned from the funeral of Fatima Khalil.
