Ahmad Shah Masoud Lion of Panjsher

Ahmad Shah Massoud (September 1953 September 9, 2001) was a Kabul University engineering student turned military leader who played a leading role in driving the Soviet army out of Afghanistan, earning him the nickname Lion of Panjshir.
Massoud was a moderate of the anti-Soviet resistance leaders

Following the collapse of the Afghan government and the rise of the Taliban in 1996, Massoud returned to the role of an armed opposition leader, serving as the military commander of the United Front (known previously as the Northern Alliance).

On September 9, 2001, two days before the September 11 attacks in the United States, Massoud was assassinated in Takhar Province of Afghanistan by suspected Al-Qaeda agents.
The following year, he was named "National Hero" by the order of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The date of his death, September 9, is observed as a national holiday in Afghanistan, known as "Massoud Day."

The year following his assassination, in 2002, Massoud was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
