Afghanistan Peace Council Chief Is Killed in Attack on His Home
An unidentified attacker on Tuesday killed the leader of Afghanistan’s High
Peace Council, a former president of the country whose main responsibility was
negotiating a political end to the war with the Taliban. The attack was a
serious blow to any notion of reconciliation with the Taliban.
Afghan officials said the peace council leader, former President Burhanuddin
Rabbani, was likely killed by a suicide bomber in or near his heavily guarded
home in the Afghan capital, Kabul. The assassination coincided with President
Hamid Karzai’s visit to the United Nations General Assembly, where he was
scheduled to confer with President Obama about the war.
