( TAUSEEF MUSTAFA/AFP/Getty Images ) An Afghan policeman looks as tributes are paid during a ceremony marking the tenth anniversary of the death of slain Afghan national hero Ahmad Shah Masood in Kabul on September 9, 2011. Ten years after he was killed by Al-Qaeda, Ahmad Shah Massoud is revered by many Afghans as a hero whose murder just two days before 9/11 was designed to eliminate resistance to the Taliban. His vision of a united Afghanistan is far from realized, but photographs of the French-speaking, poetry-loving, ethnic Tajik leader still cover Kabul, frequently displayed in car windows, shops, guard huts and even on billboards. |
