A former Taleban minister who defected to the new Afghan government has been shot dead in Kandahar.

Mullah Abdul Samad Khaksar, a one-time Taleban intelligence chief, was killed by two unknown gunmen on a motorbike, his brother told the BBC.

He is the most senior Taleban defector to be killed.

Mullah Khaksar had told the BBC of his concerns after receiving threats from the Taleban, and asked for bodyguards during last year's election.
