The last journey of Afghanistan Army Chief, National Hero, Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud 2001

This video shows the last journey of Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud from Panjsher to Khvajeh Bahauddin in Takhar Province. On September 9, 2001, two days before the cataclysmic attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Ahmad Shah Massoud, commander of the United Front guerrilla opposition to Afghanistan's Taliban regime, was assassinated in the Afghan town of Khvajeh Bahauddin by two Arab men posing as journalists. Both of the assassins died -- one in the attack itself, blown up with his own bomb along with Massoud, and the other, it seems, was shot while trying to escape shortly afterwards.

Journalists commonly attribute the murder either to al Qaeda or to the Taliban. That seems logical enough. Massoud's United Front was fighting a war against the Taliban at the time. The Taliban were in turn protecting al Qaeda, an organization blamed for a number of sophisticated terrorist attacks, including those on 9/11. Simple as these explanations may be, Massoud's murder has never been solved. The details of the assassination, which included an explosive charge disguised as a battery pack for a video camera, the acquisition of stolen passports, and the death of both assassins, at different times and by different means -- suggest a sophisticated conspiracy. Dead men tell no tales, and in this case, neither have the living. The Taliban, for their part, have denied any involvement in Massoud's death.

@afgbossplaya818 If it wasn't for him your parents would be under the hands of Russians bro, keep that in mind, and also the only reason U.S.A went in Afghanistan was because Masoud wasn't threre, they had to send 2 Arabs to kill him, in order to get in Afghanistan. Gain some knowledge before going againts your own Afghans who protected us all.
