KABUL’s bandit king, has been reburied in Kabul after an attack on the people carrying his coffin. At least three people were injured and security official killed.
Kalakani, a notorious bandit, served as king for a few months in 1929. He led the revolt against King Amanullah’s modernisation plans with the help of various tribes.
A number of political figures, including former Balkh governor Atta Mohammad Noor, ex-intelligence chief Amrullah Saleh and others, held a ceremony for the reburial of Kalakani and 16 of his aides.
The corpses were reburied on Shahr-i-Ara Mount in Kabul after armed supporters of 1st Vice-President Gen. Abdur Rashid Dostum prevented the ceremony.
The reburial took place at 11pm on Thursday, but a number of people were still in the area, according to a Pajhwok reporter. The men plan to hold Fateha for the ex-king.
