Biography

General Khan Mohammad "Mujahid" (Pashto: جنرال خان محمد مجاهد‎) was an Afghan police commander who served in Kandahar, and Ghazni provincial headquarters. He was born in 1961 in Kandahar, Arghandab District, in the Kandahar Alokozay tribe, of which he became the leader. He was Commander of Ghazni in 2009 and Commander of Kandahar Province from 2009 to 2011. On April 11, 2011, he was killed in a suicide bombing at the Kandahar headquarters. He had been marginalized from positions of government authority and influence during the war. His appointment marked one of the few occasions on which a powerful provincial post was given to an Alokozai. His brother, Haji Niaz Mohammad, held another such post, as district police chief in the neighboring Arghandab District.
