9/21/11

   Yesterday, Burhanuddin Rabbani, head of the High Peace Council of Afghanistan, was assassinated.  The High Peace Council is the body of government in relations with the Taliban, and the Taliban have made it very clear that they do not want to reconcile.  They sent the message that no official is safe and now anti-Taliban figures are getting more support than ever.

Unusualness, Significance, Timeliness, Prominence, Proximity
