Unknown armed men shot dead former Jihadi commander Mullah Abdul Rauf in Baghlan province, north of Afghanistan, on Thursday, police said.    "Mullah Abdul Rauf was on his way to provincial capital Pul-e- Khumri when unidentified men opened fire on his car in Ainal area, killing him on the spot and injuring two others including his son," a police officer Abdul Hai Ramzi told Xinhua.
  
However, he did not rule out old enmity behind the incident.
  
Rauf, a pro-government Jihadi commander was among those who had already handed over his arms to government and supported durable peace in the country.
  
Dozens of former Jihadi leaders who fought the former Soviet Union and resisted Taliban onslaught  have been assassinated over the past couple of years.
