Akhmad Shakh Masud alive after murderous assault

The bomb brought by two Arab "journalists" in the house of Akhmad Shakh Masud, the military head of the Northern Alliance, detonated at the very beginning of the "interview." The bomb was put into the video camera.

A source in the Afghan Embassy in Dushanbe informed CNA that Masud was wounded in the arm and leg by shell-splinters. Both terrorists - kamikazes - died immediately. The official of the department of information of Afghan Foreign Ministry was also exploded. The Ambassador of Rabbani government in India Masud Khalili was injured.

Nothing threatens to Masud?s health now; emergency aid was rendered to him.
