A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... has strongly condemned a recent deadly US-led ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... . He said in a statement issued on Tuesday that the assault is a breach of security agreements between Kabul and Washington. President Karzai also ordered an investigation into the fatal incident.

Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name... killed three people. |
