Mental Illness, Poverty Haunted Afghan Policewoman Who Killed American -- Reuters
(Reuters) - The Afghan policewoman suspected of killing a U.S. contractor at police headquarters in Kabul suffered from mental illness and was driven to suicidal despair by poverty, her children told Reuters on Wednesday.
The woman was identified by authorities as Narges Rezaeimomenabad, a 40-year-old grandmother and mother of three who moved here from Iran 10 years ago and married an Afghan man.
On Monday morning, she loaded a pistol in a bathroom at the police compound, hid it in her long scarf and shot an American police trainer, apparently becoming the first Afghan woman to carry out such an attack.
Narges also tried to shoot police officials after killing the American. Luckily for them, her pistol jammed. Her husband is also under investigation.

My Comment: If the children are to be believed .... this Afghan policewoman was on the verge of a breakdown, and in her anger and despair made the decision to destroy as many lives as possible before ending hers. Unfortunately .... she succeeded.
