Saturday, September 15 2:19 AM SGT Masood dead: French foreign minister
PARIS, Sept 14 (AFP) -
French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine said Friday that "it appears to be confirmed that commander Ahmad Shah Masood, the head of the Afghan opposition, has died".
"Unfortunately it seems to be confirmed that commander Masood died in the attack of which he was a victim," Vedrine told reporters.
"This assassination causes me great sadness."
According to his aides, Masood, 49, was the target of an assassination plot carried out by two Arabs posing as journalists who detonated a bomb during an interview on Sunday.
Again, the perps use the tactics of cowards. Amazing the power of the "70 virgins" hoax. God, more likely will give them something quite opposite, from this hoax.
