On a point of accuracy, it was probably al Qaeda that assassinated him, not the Taliban. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/ahmed-shah-massoud-729417.html This is some sort of drama-doc about it. I can't find any footage but I remember seeing some at the time. Subsequent events overshadowed his assassination though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eG_8kPn_cs -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
