Malalai Kakar -- the hjghest ranking woman in the Afghan Police Department -- was shot and killed as her son prepared to drive her to work last week. Former NPR reporter Sarah Chase tells host Peggy Wehmeyer the Taliban has been trying to drive a wedge between the public and government and the police are closest to the people. That made Kakar an obvious target. Chase was a friend of Kakar’s and says her killing has left many in a state of despair.
