Yar Mohammed
Afghan shot by US special forces
About Yar Mohammed
Lived 1946 – 2011 (aged 64–65). Yar Mohammed was an Afghan.
Haji Yar Mohammed was a second cousin of Afghan President Hamid Karzai who was killed during a night raid by United States special forces on March 10, 2011. He is from Karz, the same village as the President.
His killing came shortly after Karzai had demanded the US stop using the technique of night raids due to the unacceptable level of deaths of innocent civilians. He said Yar Mohammed's son Waheed had been shot, as part of the feud, in October 2009.
Both NATO and President Karzai's office said they would initiate inquiries into what really happened.
