Abstract

The article reports that a teenager from the Taliban succeeded in infiltrating a high-level meeting in Kandahar, Afghanistan, on October 18, 2018, killing a powerful Afghan general and a provincial chief and wounding an Afghan governor and a U.S. general when he opened fire using a Kalashnikov rifle. The assassin, Raz Mohammed, was hired as an elite guard without conducting a background check. The slain general, Abdul Raziq, was the police chief of Kandahar Province.
