Qadir,
Hajji Abdul.
- Hajji Abdul Qadir was a governor of Nangahar
Province (Jalalabad)
from 1992 to 1996. During that time he
was a willing host to Osama Bin Laden
and a longtime Khalis
ally.
- The Eastern
Shura in Jalalabad has named Hajji
Abdul Qadir as Governor 11/18/2001.
Qadir is Pashtun but was allied with the
United Front.
- Haji Abdul Qadir was gunned down Saturday
July 6th 2002, his son-in-law was driving
away from the gates of a government
ministry building in Kabul when they were
both killed in an ambush. He was buried
the next day by his brother Abdul Haq, in
Jalalabad
the capital of Nangarhar province.
- Karzai and the US want to paint this as a
terrorist act but that is a little
unlikely. Odds are that Qadir's killer
are part of the Government. They are
trying to say that Karzai is hurt by this
but it actually weakens former President
Burhanuddin Rabbani since Qadir was one
of Rabbani's key Pashtun allies. So
rather than outside terrorists trying to
hurt Karzai it is a Pashtun power play to
weaken the Northern alliance.
- Key questions to ask. Where were the
bodyguards and who benefits by his death?
- Longtime foes
revive struggles for power

Quchan
- Quchan is an important collection point
for Kurdish and Afshar tribal and village
rugs. The Persian Rugs and Carpet
share designs with Northwest and
Caucasian Kurds and Afshar.
- Abbas Safavi Shah ruled Iran from 1588 -
1629 at the beginning of his reign Persia
was in serious trouble. The Ottomen had
taken Tabriz and most of Northwest
Persia. Abbas Safavi Shah made a treaty
with the Ottomen and Persia was forced to
pay tribute. While on the eastern front
the Uzbek came as far west as Mashad.
Abbas used Kurds and Afshar to retake
Mashad and gave those Afshar Turks and
Kurdish mercenaries land in the Quchan
area as a reward for service and as
a line of defense against the Uzbeks and
their Turkmen vassals. The descendents of
those Kurds and Afshar live in the Quchan
area and produce rugs.
