AFGHAN CHAIRMAN APPOINTS COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE MASUD'S DEATH
Afghan Transitional Administration Chairman Hamid Karzai has established a special commission, headed by Interior Minister Ali Ahmad Jalali, to investigate the killing of Afghan anti-Taliban commander Ahmed Shah Masud, RFE/RL reported on 27 April. Masud was killed on 9 September 2001 by two suicide bombers posing as journalists. It is believed they were carrying out orders from Al-Qaeda leader bin Laden, who was then living in Afghanistan under the protection of the former Taliban government. The formation of the commission is largely seen as a gesture to honor Masud, as the perpetrators died during the attack. AT
