Afghanistan
Son of Famed Afghan Commander Massoud Steps into Spotlight
2019-08-29
God grant he is clever enough to survive the maelstrom.
[AnNahar] Eighteen years after the liquidation of revered anti-Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
 commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, his only son is hoping to continue the mission against the bully boyz by jumping into Afghanistan's chaotic political fray.

With America seemingly on the brink of a deal with the Taliban that would see the Pentagon slash its troop presence in Afghanistan, 30-year-old Ahmad Massoud wants to galvanise anti-Taliban groups and stop the emboldened fighters from ushering in a new wave of hardline Islam.

#5  Get your limited edition Ahmad Shah Massoud 'Taliban Hunter' statuette at ebay. Christmas gift for any 'good Afghans' you may know in America.

Here is the most concise, intimate glimpse of this figure and how the clan is connected to the whole nasty business in Afghanistan. Ahmad Shah Masood.

#3  Are the”good”? Here is a search in the archives of Papa Massoud’s full name — draw your own conclusions, jpal. ;-) It does take a moment to load.

#2  Are the Massoud's considered "good" Moslems? If they're anti-Taliban guess they must be at least a little sane.
