KABUL, Afghanistan (Dec. 18, 2011) -- General John R. Allen, commander of International Security Assistance Force, joins President Karzai in condemning Saturday’s assassination of Mr. Abdul Baqi Raghbat in the Shikar Por Darwaza area of Kandahar province.
“Mr. Raghbat played an instrumental role in advancing many areas of Afghan society. He made a difference to the people of this nation, and shamefully, the enemies of peace and stability have taken his life,” said Gen. Allen. “Our heartfelt and sincere condolences go out to the families and friends of Mr. Raghbat and the Kandahar community."
"ISAF will continue to work closely with our Afghan partners to root out these criminals who kill and injure innocent Afghans working toward stability, peace and prosperity for all Afghan people," said Gen. Allen. "These enemies of Afghanistan must be held to account."
Mr. Raghbat was an advisor to the Ministry of Tribal and Border Affairs.
