British good Samaritan shot dead by Taliban in Afghanistan for being Christian
Gunned down: Gayle Williams, who was shot dead in Kabul, Afghanistan
A British woman who was working to better the lives of disabled children in Afghanistan has been shot dead by Taliban gunmen because she was working for a Christian organisation.
Gayle Williams, 34, was walking to work in Kabul when she was gunned down by two men on a motorbike.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the killing, saying its leaders had ordered the murder of Miss Williams because she was spreading the Christian message.
But the British-registered charity she worked for, SERVE Afghanistan, said this was a ' convenient excuse' for a 'completely opportunistic' killing.
