The former Afghanistan's Prime Minister Abdul Saboor Farid was shot dead Wednesday evening in front of his house in the capital city of Kabul.

Several men shot Farid dead while driving a car along the street.

The victim, a member of Afghanistan's upper house of parliament, was prime minister for one month in 1992 when a bitter civil war burst out in the country following the defeat of the Soviet army by the US-backed mujahedeen fighters.

Farid was also a representative of the northern province of Kapisa and a senior mujahedeen commander in the area.
