New Karzai's brother slain
http://www.abc.net.a...bodyguard/2792046
The half-brother of Afghan president Hamid Karzai, Ahmed Wali Karzai, has been assassinated at his home in Kandahar.

Initial details were sketchy, but Kandahar provincial government spokesman Zalmay Ayubi confirmed the killing.

Shot inside his own home, apparently by one of his own bodyguards. The Taliban is taking credit, but there is no telling who is behind this. This could be anything from a CIA hit, a drug trade struggle, or his own brother cleaning house.

It does suggest some very high level unrest in Afganistan though. If government officials can't trust their own bodyguards, the situation will fall apart.

New its pashto, you cant trust anyone, even family
The killer might have planned this for years or a generation. He could also be miffed that he was spoken to badly 5 minutes before he shot him.

This was a random error that most likely occurred when a ray of cosmic radiation hit a memory chip at just the right angle resulting in a bit changing from a 0 to a 1.
