On September 9th, 2001, NorthernAlliance -Commander General Ahmed Massoud was killed by two suicide journalists with the help of a bomb. Rumours continued during 2001-2002, that this attack had been orchestrated by the Pakistan Secret Service Isi, who knew about pending war plans against the Taliban, and about the Sep11th attack. In May 2002, the story of the killing was altered again- with a grotesque update. As AP reported, New Yorks Staten Island postal worker Ahmed Sattar was behind the killing of Massoud. Investigators claimed now, that Sattar helped a London co-conspirator writing a "letter of introduction" that allowed assassins to get close enough to kill Massoud. The London suspect, Yassir al-Sirri (head of the Islamic Observation Center), was already charged with the Massoud killing. The final version included the original story: Massoud's executioners, two Arab men posing as Belgian journalists, hid a bomb inside a camera and detonated it during an interview in Massoud's office. Sattar, who was a former friend of Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman (->), WTC bombing suspect of 1993, had denied any involvement in terrorism.

Faheem Dashty, Journalist of the independent agency Ariana, based in the north of Afghanistan, is one of the two survivors of the explosion which cost the life to the commander Massoud. Severely burned at the hands, Dashty arrived in France in, with the assistance of "Reporters without borders" and of the Afghanistan embassy in Paris. Shortly after that he gave an interview to leparisien.fr on the attack, "his opinion of the American intervention and his vision of the future": Question: What are your memories of this 9 September? Faheem Dashty : " It was the morning. I was in the house where are placed the guests of Massoud when i was warned that the two Arab " journalists " who wished to meet him had left for the center command. I wanted to film the interview, as I have done it since I work for Massoud, for ten years. They returned little afterwards with their interpreter because they had to wait until the commander was ready. About midday, someone said to us that we could go there. When we returned, Massoud was there with the Afghan ambassador in India, Massoud Khalili (note: second survivor of the attack). Before beginning the interview, Massoud asked them to announce their questions. The " journalist " started to read, the second to prepare his camera and to film. I placed myself behind them, as I usually did, to be facing Massoud. I realized that his face was in back-light and I bent down to change angle and to fix my camera. Perhaps fifteen seconds afterwards, I heard an explosion. On the blow, that did not seem to me very loud. I believed that I had a problem with my camera, I felt a burn and I left the room very quickly. I requested from the first person that I saw to take me along to the hospital. I returned to the room and I saw that all was destroyed. After that, I fainted. I awoke at the hospital. Twelve days later, I learned that Massoud had died, as a martyr " How do you explain that Massoud and his entourage were not wary of these two men whose papers and recommendations seem, a posteriori, very suspect (read below) ? "It is true that the security around Massoud was not very good. Personally, I did not perceive anything else with those people but the behavior of men who wished to make their job. I believe especially that they were professionals, perfectly prepared to do such an act. If these terrorists are able to succeed of the so strong attacks in the United States, in Afghanistan, for them, it is very simple " Who is, according to you, the sleeping partner of this assassination: Taliban, Oussama Ben Laden or Pakistani secret service , the ISI? " Afghanistan under Taliban occupation is a center of international terrorism. It is used as a base for Oussama Ben Laden and his network as with the extremists groups : tchetchenes, Chinese, ouzbeks, birmans or Sudanese. It is used as support to the fundamentalist Pakistani religious and part of the Pakistani army. The services of the ISI coordinate all these movements. Massoud was the biggest obstacle with their interests, his assassination was organized by them. Two days later, there were the attacks in the United States. The link between the two events seems obvious to me " Remarks collected by Pascale Égré (with Mehrnoushe Soluki, interpret) Source: http://www.leparisien.fr/home/info/permanent/article.htm?source=Le%20Parisien&articleid=90725874&themeid=514
On Faza-ul Rehman Khalili, the second survivor of this attack : On Sept 11, after the attacks on NY and Washington were carried out, Khalili went in to hiding, of course on ISI's request. Watch, at the end it shall be proven that Khalili organized the attacks, Osama and ISI give him their blessings each before those attacks were carried out. Assassination of the Commander Massoud of the Northern Alliance of Afghanistan was planned and carried out at ISI's request, by the same group, Harakat-ul-Mujahideen, a state sponsored terrorist group. Why is Gen. Musharaf of Pakistan committed to help the US in its war against terrorism? He is not. He is playing a game and he is trying to protect Taliban, Harakat-ul-Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Tuaiba and other such groups which ISI created. Musharaf may agree to give up on Al Qaida in order to protect the rest, but in essence, they are all the same. http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Parliament/1358/isi/isi.html
