KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): Both presidential candidates Dr. Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai and Dr. Abdullah Abdullah on Sunday attended a memorial service for President Hamid Karzai’s slain cousin Hashmat Khalil Karzai in southern Kandahar province.
Hashmat Khalil Karzai, who obtained the most votes in the April provincial council election, was a leading tribal elder and a close aide to frontrunner in the presidential election Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai.
Hashmat was killed by a young man who hid explosives in his headgear on Tuesday outside Kandahar City.
