Dr. Abdullah Presidential Candidate attended tomb on 8th Anniversary of Massoud in Panjsher R.I.P!

The unforgettable Ahmad Shah Massoud The National Hero of Afghanistan and The 8th Martyrdom Anniversary of Ahmad Shah Massoud the great freedom fighter Tribute on his 8th martyrdom anniversary. Kabul war on terror Ahmad Shah Massoud This legendary warrior defied Afghanistan's Soviet invaders, only to be assassinated by al-Qaeda By Peter Bergen The two Arab TV journalists who had been hanging around for weeks to secure an interview with the storied Afghan military commander Ahmad Shah Massoud finally got their chance to speak with him on Sept. 9, 2001. They set up their gear and asked a question about Osama bin Laden. Then one of them detonated a bomb hidden in a camera, killing himself and mortally wounding Massoud. The journalists were, in fact, al-Qaeda assassins, and it was bin Laden who had ordered the hit just before the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. Kenzo Tange The architect who built Japan The Dalai Lama A lighthouse and a lightning rod Hayao Miyazaki The foremost anime auteur Jahangir Khan Sport's greatest conqueror Li Ka-shing Asia's business "Superman" other stories » Get The Magazine Try 4 issues FREE Give a gift of TIME Historians will record commander Massoud's assassination as the curtain raiser for the attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. that followed. The Afghan leader was the principal antagonist of the Taliban; by engineering his death bin Laden gave the Taliban something they desperately wanted, and ensured that the Taliban would protect al-Qaeda in Afghanistan after 9/11. More than five years after his assassination Massoud remains a national hero to many Afghans. Passengers at Kabul airport are greeted by a mural of him standing several stories high. Massoud's place in history is assured by the fact that he was arguably the most brilliant practitioner of guerrilla warfare in the late 20th century. In the 1980s, during the war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, he survived six major Soviet operations aimed at defeating him. Then, in 1992, he seized Kabul from the Afghan communist regime that had replaced the occupying Soviets. Afghanistan was subsequently plunged into civil war as competing factions vied for control of the capital. During the fighting I met Massoud at his headquarters north of Kabul and was struck by his intense integrity, charisma and disarming humor. The struggles between bin Laden and Massoud are emblematic of the divisions in the Muslim world between militants who advocate violence against the West and those who favor peaceful coexistence. Massoud's Islam was a moderate kind of fundamentalism leavened by tolerance for others. The world will be a much safer place if Massoud's vision wins out.
