Afghans are commemorating the 15th anniversary of the death of Ahmad Shah Massud, the revered Northern Alliance leader and anti-Taliban commander who was assassinated by Al-Qaeda militants on September 9, 2001.

September 8 marks the start of Martyrs Week, which is observed every year in Afghanistan to remember Massud and other national heroes who have died in the past 30 years of war.

Following his death by Al-Qaeda suicide bombers posing as a television crew, Massud was conferred the title of National Hero of Afghanistan.

Thousands of supporters of Massud, who hailed from the country’s ethnic Tajik community, are expected to take part in a march. Government dignitaries will also assemble in the Afghan capital to pay their respects.

Security has been tightened around Kabul ahead of the celebrations, which come amid escalating tensions among the country’s long-warring ethnic and factional groups.

Despite the precautions, one person was killed and three injured in an explosion in Kabul.

    YOU PREVENTED ALL THE ORIGINAL TRUE LEADERSHIPS OF AFGHANISTAN WHO GREW UP WITH GRASS-ROOTED TIES TO LOCAL COMMON FOLKS OF AFGHANISTAN.

    AFTER ALL THAT YOU ARE STILL SINGING YOUR STUPID MELODY AND MAKING IT AS IF YOU HAD NO ROLE ON DERAILING ALL THIS HOLY MISSIONS OF BUILDING A NATION FOR ALL- YOU PREVETED ALL THE GREAT LEADERS OF AFGHSNISTAN TO ZREOAUR AND BUILD UP THEIR RUINED NATION IN EARLY 90’S.

    COMMON MAN!

    You are just fooling yourself !
    EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU.

    YOU ARE THE REAL CULPRIT WITHIN THE IMPLICATION OF THE GENERAL EQUATION-AS LONG AS YOU ARE INVOLED, THERE WON’T BE ANY HONORABLE RESOLUTION.

    YOU HAVE PROVEN YOURSEVES NUMEROUS TIMES- AGAIN AND AGAIN.

    JUST LEAVE THOSE FOLKS ALONE- THEY ARE SICK AND TIRED OF YOYR ANTICS.
    THE CAN WORK OUT THEIR PROBLEMS MUCH BETTER ON ABSENCE OF YOUR DIRTY SCHEME.

    * From what I know:

    All those original leaderships had honorable mission at hand and bound to eventual peaceful, respectful. prosper and independent country for all and, I am sure, would have had never imagined the situation to lead to something WEIRD like this.

    I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT ALL OF THOSE GREAT HOME-GROWN LEADERSHIPS, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, WOULD HAVE HAD ALLOWED MILITARY INCURSIONS ON GREAT LANDS OF AFGHANISTAN- I WILL TESTIFY TO THAT FACT ANY TIME.

    All those leaders, like Ahmad Shah Massood and others, were all involved and sacrificed in their long struggle of liberating Afghanistan. They all envisioned honorable mission at hand and bound to eventual peaceful, respectful. prosper and independent country for all and, I am sure, would have had never imagined the situation to lead to something WEIRD like this.

    I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT NONE OF THOSE GREAT HOME-GROWN LEADERS , UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, WOULD HAVE HAD ALLOWED FOREIGN MILITARY INCURSIONS ON GREAT LANDS OF AFGHANISTAN- I WILL TESTIFY TO THAT FACT ANY TIME.
