[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Hashim Karzai, the cousin of former Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, 12th 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 an 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 succumbed to injuries he sustained in a deadly bombing in Kandahar last week. Sources close to the victim’s family have said Hashim died of his wounds while receiving treatments in a hospital in India. Hashim Karzai was a trader and his death has been confirmed by the provincial government. Over 10 people bit the dust including five UAE diplomats after explosives planted in governor’s guesthouse went off last Tuesday. No group including the Taliban gunnies has so far grabbed credit behind the incident. The Taliban group rejected their involvement in the attack and blamed the local officials for having internal disputes that led to the incident. However, it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... the Afghan security officials said the attack was plotted outside the country as an investigation is underway. A delegation of the UAE officials have also reportedly arrived in Kandahar to probe the deadly incident. The kaboom last Tuesday took place as the UAE ambassador and diplomats had visited the province for the inauguration of a humanitarian project. |
