Assassination Attempt On Governor of Paktia Foiled
Source: Ausuf, Translated by Jihad UnspunAn attempt to kill Governor of the Afghan province of Paktia, Mohammad Ali, was foiled in an incident that killed one official and severely injuring another. According to details, the governor was leaving his residence when on his way some unknown assailants attacked him. As a result, his body guard Mohammad Nabi was severely injured and the governor narrowly escaped death. The assailants managed to flee to safety. It is thought that the attackers were the men of Fateh Khan from a powerful Sherna tribe, which are under heavy investigation by Afghan government. Some arrests have been made which has made the situation more volatile in the region. "Apostate! Hypocrite! Heretic! We must kill him!" "What'd he do, Mahmoud?" "Ummm... His great-grandfather... No, I think it was his great-great-grandfather, disprespected my great-uncle, twice removed!" "No! Where's my gun?" Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-02-18 |
