About me:
Ahmed Shah Massoud (???? ??? ?????) (c. September 2, 1953–September 9, 2001) (variant transliterations include Ahmad, Masood, etc.) was a Kabul University engineering student turned Afghan military leader who played a leading role in driving the Soviet army out of Afghanistan, earning him the nickname Lion of Panjshir.
Massoud was an ethnic Tajik who was charismatic and respected by a faction of the Afghan population. His supporters call him "National Hero". In the early 1990s he became Defence Minister under President Burhanuddin Rabbani's regime. Following the collapse of Rabbani's government and the rise of the Taliban regime, Massoud became the military leader of the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan. As the Taliban established control over most of Afghanistan, Massoud's forces were increasingly forced into the mountainous areas of the north, where they controlled some 10% of the country's territory and perhaps 30% of its population until 2001. Massoud was assassinated in September 2001. By the order of Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai, Ahmad Shah Massoud was named "National Hero" the following year in 2002.
