Ahmed Wali Karzai's killer had been a Taliban foe
By Sheila Samples
The man who murdered President Hamid Karzai's half brother spent years as an ally of the United States in the war against the Taliban. The killer, Sardar Mohammad, a police commander, met on several occasions with U.S. and British military officials, shared intelligence with Americans and played a part in Afghan arrests of scores of Taliban fighters, according to three relatives interviewed on Thursday in his home near Kandahar.
