Burhanuddin Rabbani former afghan president starnews

KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide attacker with a bomb in his turban posed as a Taliban peace envoy and assassinated a former Afghan president who for the past year headed a government council seeking a political settlement with the insurgents. Tuesday's attack, carried out in former President Burhanuddin Rabbani's Kabul home, dealt a harsh blow to attempts at ending a decade of war. The killing of Rabbani, an ethnic Tajik and one of the wise old men of Afghan politics, will blunt efforts to keep in check the regional and ethnic rivalries that help feed the insurgency. President Hamid Karzai cut short a visit to the United Nations and called on Afghans to remain unified in the face of Rabbani's "martyrdom." An emergency Cabinet meeting was called for Wednesday. The attack came days after a daytime assault by insurgents on the US Embassy and NATO headquarters that deepened a sense of insecurity in the capital. NATO said in a statement that two suicide bombers were involved in the attack on Rabbani, both of them men who had feigned a desire to reconcile with the government. It was unclear if a second bomber was able to detonate his explosives. Afghan officials, however, insisted there was only one attacker. Four men were wounded, including a key presidential adviser, said Mohammad Zahir, the head of criminal investigations for the Kabul police. Initial reports had four bodyguards killed but Zahir said those were incorrect. Close friends of Rabbani said that the former <b>...</b>

[Hamid Karzai, Afghan President]: "I say Pakistan is a twin brother. India is a great friend. The agreement that we signed yesterday with our friend would not affect our brother. This is to strengthen Afghanistan. This is to strengthen a brother, Pakistan." Karzai's two-day visit to India comes during rising Afghan anger with Pakistan and Afghan accusations of Pakistani involvement in militant attacks. Many Afghan officials say Pakistan's intelligence agency masterminded the assassination last month of Burhanuddin Rabbani, Kabul's chief peace negotiator with the Taliban. Reflecting on Rabbani's killing, Karzai reiterated that Afghanistan would not be negotiating peace with the Taliban. [Hamid Karzai, Afghan President]: "We are not talking to the Taliban because the messenger that came in the name of the Taliban was not a messenger from the Taliban, it was a suicide bomber that killed president Rabbani. We will wait till the Taliban have an address we can go to and a name that we can identify as a negotiator to talk to."

Massoud, then aged 48, was the target of a suicide attack at Khwaja Bahauddin, in Takhar Province in northeastern Afghanistan on September 9, 2001. The attackers' names were alternately given as Dahmane Abd al-Sattar, husband of Malika El Aroud, and Bouraoui el-Ouaer; or 34-year-old Karim Touzani and 26-year-old Kacem Bakkali. The attackers claimed to be Belgians originally from Morocco. However, their passports turned out to be stolen and their nationality was later determined to be Tunisian. Waiting for almost three weeks (during which they also interviewed Burhanuddin Rabbani and Abdul Rasul Sayyaf) for an interview opportunity, on September 8, 2001, an aide to Massoud recalls the would-be suicide attackers "were so worried" and threatened to leave if the interview did not happen in the next 24 hours (until September 10, 2001). They were finally granted an interview. During the interview they set off a bomb that had been hidden in their videocamera. Commander Massoud died in a helicopter that was taking him to a hospital. The explosion also killed Mohammed Asim Suhail, a United Front official, while Mohammad Fahim Dashty and Massoud Khalili were injured. One of the suicide attackers, Bouraoui, was also killed by the explosion while Dahmane was captured and shot while trying to escape. Despite initial denials by the United Front, news of Massoud's death was reported almost immediately, appearing on the BBC, and in European and North American newspapers on September 10 <b>...</b>

Former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani, whose emotional and tempestuous funeral took place only hours ago, was assassinated this week in Kabul as part of an elaborate plot. As The New York Times reports today, Taliban members spent months wooing Afghan officials and pretending that the Quetta Shura, the Taliban leadership council in Pakistan, was ready for peace talks with the Afghan government's High Peace Council, which Rabbani led. A Quetta Shura emissary then stayed at a peace council guesthouse and presented council members with a CD promising peace, only to detonate explosives hidden in his turban as he greeted Rabbani in his home and embraced him. Peace council member Rahmatullah Wahidyar, who was injured in the attack, tells the Times that when he regained consciousness, "I saw the guy lying at my feet, and I saw his body without his head." The turban bomb, according to a Reuters report earlier this month, represents a new tactic for insurgents in Afghanistan. In fact, Rabbani's death marks the fourth time the strategy has been used since July 14, when a suicide bomber concealing explosives in his turban blew himself up outside a memorial service for Ahmed Wali Karzai, the half-brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, in Kandahar. Subsequent turban attacks killed Kandahar mayor Ghulam Haider Hamidi and targeted the Helmand Military Corps Center on Afghanistan's Independence Day. In early August, Karzai urged the country's religious leaders to "convince <b>...</b>

Shaykh Faraz Rabbani, founder of and instructor at SeekersGuidance, draws connections between the character of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and the last speech delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the National Cathedral, Washington, DC, on March 31, 1968 - just four days before his assassination. (Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said Ultimately a great nation is a compassionate nation . It seems that I can hear the God of history saying, That was not enough! But I was hungry, and ye fed me not. I was naked, and ye clothed me not. I was devoid of a decent sanitary house to live in, and ye provided no shelter for me. And consequently, you cannot enter the kingdom of greatness. If ye do it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye do it unto me. Thats the question facing America today. This is the call of the Prophets. It is the call of compassion. It is a call of mercy. Let us answer that call. For it is, The merciful who are granted mercy by the all-Merciful. Be merciful to those on earth and the Lord of the Worlds will be merciful to you, said the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said, Be merciful to those on earth: Whoever they may be, if any person who is in need, if any thing that is in need, it is the believers duty to hasten and assist.

The world media has reacted with shock and horror to the suicide-bomb assassination of former Afghanistan president Burhanuddin Rabbani on Tuesday. Most international newspapers said Rabbani's killing has dealt a crushing blow to the peace process. The New York Times said on Wednesday: Western countries, including the United States, have made contacts with Taliban and former Taliban, hoping to jump-start the peace process. However, Western officials have emphasised that without strong Afghan involvement it will not be meaningful, because it is the Afghans who will have to trust each other enough to decide how to share power over the long term. That possibility seemed increasingly remote late Tuesday. The telling commentary on the sad situation in Afghanistan summed up the road ahead for the war-torn nation that has not only seen a ghastly attack on Rabbani, but on the very belief that it could see a new era of peace once international troops leave. The NYT quoted former presidential candidate and Northern Alliance leader Abdullah Abdullah: "This is a lesson for all of us that we shouldn't fool ourselves that this group, who has carried out so many crimes against the people of Afghanistan, are willing to make peace."

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has ruled out further talks with the Taliban, saying "we cannot keep talking to suicide bombers." After a summit meeting with his Pakistani counterpart, Asif Ali Zardari, and Turkish President Abdullah Gul, in the Turkish city of Istanbul, Mr. Karzai said his government would instead continue to talk with Pakistan about finding solutions to the insurgency-related violence.President Karzai warned that there will be no hope for peace in his country without help from its neighbors in fighting terror groups. Mr. Gul, who hosted the summit, said Pakistan agreed to cooperate with Afghanistan on a joint inquiry into the September 20 assassination of Afghanistan's top peace negotiator, former President Burhanuddin Rabbani**. Tajikistan was also one of those countries that got a jolt by the killing of Burhanuddin Rabbani, the de facto leader of the eight million Tajiks living in Afghanistan. As the United States cuts troop levels in Afghanistan, Tajikistan is seeking to hold the line at its border with Afghanistan. Sealing the border separates Tajiks on both sides, but the move is seen as blocking the spread of Taliban-style extremism north into Central Asia.
