Afghan election workers shot dead

Two Afghan election campaigners working for presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah have been shot dead in the western city of Herat.

The shootings took place the day before campaigning officially starts for the 5 April vote.

Local TV reports said gunmen attacked them as they left a campaign office.

Abdullah Abdullah was the runner-up in the disputed election of 2009 to President Karzai, who cannot stand this time.
