On September 9, 2001 Ahmad Shah Masood was slain by an attack perpetrated by Al-Qaeda. Two days following his assassination, the world experienced
the attacks of 9-11. Three years after the attacks on 9-11, Ahmad Shah Masood is still considered a political icon in the middle east. Each year
Afghanistan has held a ceremony mourning the death of this icon.
This morning's news brought some very eerie resemblence to the morning of September 9, 2001. This morning, Vice-Presidential candidate Ahmad Zia
Masood, the brother of Ahmad Shah Masood, was attacked in Faizabad, located in the Badakshan province. Ahmad Zia Masood had travelled to this
province for a campaign rally, little did he know, he would be the target of an assassination attempt.
"Explosives planted in the road went off as the convoy in which he was traveling headed from the airport to the rally site, killing two people and
injuring at least three others," local officials said.
Ahmad Zia Masood was able to escape this morning's assassination plot. When we look back on history, today's assassination plot carries almost a
direct resemblence to the morning of September 9, 2001. And this close resemblence makes us wonder, "What exactly does Al-Qaeda have planned
next?".
