| ISI Behind Assassination of Ahmad Shah Massoud: Relatives | |
| 2011-05-05 | |
| [Tolo News] Ahmad Zia Massoud, the former vice-president and the brother of Ahmad Shah Massoud, Wednesday accused Pakistain's ISI of being directly behind Massoud's liquidation. Ahmad Zia Massoud said Osama Bin Laden, the former leader of al-Qaeda terror network, assassinated Ahmad Shah Massoud under the instruction of Pakistain.
On 9 September 2001, two days before the 9/11, two Arab nationals posing as journalists assassinated Ahmad Shah Massoud, the national hero of Afghanistan, in his base in northern Afghanistan after winning a chance to interview him. "Ahmad Shah Massoud was an obstacle to Pakistain and some other neighbouring countries, so they plotted to get him assassinated by a terrorist organisation," Ahmad Zia Massoud, the brother of Massoud, said. Some of Ahmad Shah Massoud's relatives criticise the Afghan government of not pursuing a thorough investigation into the liquidation. "Regretfully, the investigations have not gone further from the time they started," Afghan Ambassador in Spain, Massoud Khalili, said. "The factory of bad turban networks in the region and in particular in Afghanistan is run by Pakistain's military intelligence organisation," Ahmad Wali Massoud, head of Massoud foundation and Massoud's brother, said. Two days after Massoud's liquidation the world was shocked by the 9/11 attacks carried out by al-Qaeda terror network. The comments come after Osama Bin Laden was killed in Pakistain in an operation by US special forces. Osama's death in Pakistain was seen as a proof that the country was harbouring terrorists. | |

| #3 You can thank President Zia for people like Hamid Gul,Perv and Co. Well said, Black Bart Phuling7750. The poor dear just couldn't handle losing East Pakistan and the dream of the Indian caliphate. He and the rump of Pakistan overcompensated a little thereafter. Land of the Pure, forsooth! |
