DU must be hating this.
Whatever happened to Massoud?
Liberals shooting their TVs about now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was assassinated a day before 911.
He was killed days after 9-11 I believe.
Al Qaeda and the Taliban killed Masood.
Massoud was assassinated.
I believe a bomb was in a tv camera and he was murdered. They pretended they wanted to do an interview with him. It was a set up.
"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 Baha od Din 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. [1]
Journalists commonly attribute the murder either to al Qaeda or to the Taliban. [2] 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."
