阿富汗總統同父異母兄弟遇刺
The half brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai has been shot dead at his home in southern Kandahar ident Karzai told reporters in Kabul the assassination of his younger brother, Ahmad Wali Karzai, represents the suffering of all Afghan people. Afghan officials say Wali Karzai was killed on Tuesday, likely by one of his bodyguards. No motive is immediately known.
Wali Karzai served as the head of the provincial council and was one of the most powerful leaders in southern provincial council chief was often the target of corruption allegations. In November, a U.S. diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks suggested that Wali Karzai was "widely understood to be corrupt and a narcotics trafficker." The president's half-brother repeatedly denied the charges. Wali Karzai survived at least two previous attempts on his life in recent years. In May 2009 insurgents attacked his motorcade, killing one of his bodyguards. Wali Karzai also escaped an earlier attack on his provincial council facilities in Kandahar.阿富汗總統卡爾扎伊同父異母的弟弟在他位於南部坎大哈省的家中被槍殺。卡爾扎伊總統在喀布爾告訴記者，他的弟弟遭暗殺，顯示全部阿富汗人民的苦難。阿富汗官員說，瓦利.卡爾扎伊星期二可能被自己的一名保鏢槍殺。目前殺人動機還不得而知。
瓦利·卡爾扎伊擔任省議會議長，是阿富汗南部地區最有權勢的領導人之一。這位省議會議長常是腐敗指控的對象。去年11月維基揭密公佈一份美國外交電報，稱瓦利.卡爾扎伊被“廣泛認爲腐敗，也是個毒販子”。卡爾扎伊這個同父異母的弟弟多次否認這些指控。瓦利.卡爾扎伊最近幾年躲過至少兩次暗殺。2009年5 月，激進分子襲擊他的車隊，打死一名保鏢。瓦利·卡爾扎伊早些時候還躲過一場對坎大哈省議會發動的襲擊。
