A special song dedicated by famous singer Wahid Qasemi to Ahmad Shah Massoud. Afghanistan Ahmad Shah Massoud - National Hero of Afghanistan. Ahmad Shah MassoudThis legendary warrior defied Afghanistan's Soviet invaders, only to be assassinated by al-QaedaBy Peter Bergen The two Arab TV journalists who had been hanging around for weeks to secure an interview with the storied Afghan military commander Ahmad Shah Massoud finally got their chance to speak with him on Sept. 9, 2001. They set up their gear and asked a question about Osama bin Laden. Then one of them detonated a bomb hidden in a camera, killing himself and mortally wounding Massoud. The journalists were, in fact, al-Qaeda assassins (? al-Qaeda ? lol).
