Ahmad Shah Massoud—Lion of the Panjshir
In a mountain military base at Khvajeh Baha od Din, nordlig Afghanistan, around noon, September 9, 2001, Northern Alliance commander Ahmad Shah Massoud meets with two North African Arab reporters (possibly Tunisians), for an interview about his fight against the Taliban.
Suddenly, the TV camera carried by the "reporters" explodes with terrific force, instantly killing the al-Qaeda-linked faux journalists and seriously injuring Massoud. His men rush the "Lion of Panjshir" to a jeep, hoping to get him to a helicopter for medicinsk evakuering to a hospital, but Massoud dies on the road after just 15 minutes.
In that explosive moment, Afghanistan lost its fiercest force for a more moderate type of Islamic government, and the western world lost a valuable potential ally in the Afghanistan War to komma. Afghanistan itself lost a great leader but gained a martyr and national hero.
