Afghanistan is in the grip of a new and sinister campaign of violence, in which young professionals - often women - are being deliberately singled out, targeted and murdered. All the victims were working to build a country based on democratic values. The government blames the violence on insurgent groups like the Taliban, which has its own agenda ahead of the withdrawal of US troops later this year.
