Afghan Interpreter Killed
On Monday night, worried about making rent, he went out driving and was shot and killed in Washington.

Police have offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
“He always wanted to be giving more than he was receiving and he was just really extremely kind.” In America, Malone said, “all he wanted was a chance.” He remembered Ahmad Yar saying:"I have guys here I need to support. ... When I feel that they don't need my support then I can go to America.”Mohammad Ahmadi, Ahmad Yar's cousin, was already in America after also working for the U.S. military. The two talked on the phone about how to get Ahmad Yar and his family out of Afghanistan.
“Nasrat was very different, because even though he was needing help, he was always helping me,” she said.
