An Afghan policeman inspects bullet holes in the windshield of Vice
President Haji Abdul Qadir's car in Kabul on July 6, 2002. Unidentified
gunmen assassinated one of Afghanistan's three vice-presidents in broad
daylight in Kabul on Saturday, in a fresh blow to efforts by President
Hamid Karzai to impose his authority on the volatile country. Interior
Minister Taj Mohammad Wardak told reporters Haji Abdul Qadir, a
powerful warlord and a Pashtun like Karzai, had been shot dead in his
car in an ambush in the centre of the Afghan capital.
