AFGHANISTAN: Several thousand people gathered amid heavy security yesterday at a mosque in northern Afghanistan to mark the first anniversary of the killing of Ahmed Shah Massood.
The veteran Northern Alliance commander, who fought the Soviets and the Taliban, was killed by two suicide bombers posing as journalists, reported ordered by Osama bin Laden.
Security was tight given last week's car bomb in Kabul and the attempted assassination of Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kandahar. - (AP)
