Shahid Panah

Shahid Panah

Shaheed Mohammad Panah was a prominent Afghan military commander loyal to Ahmad Shah Massoud. Panah earned popularity as he successfully fought in various soviet incursions in the Panjsher valley and northern areas of Afghanistan. Following the withdrawal of USSR forces from Afghanistan and the subsequent collapse of the communist regime in Kabul, Panah was a commander alongside Mohammad Fahim in the northern Kabul fronts fighting first Hezb-e-islami Hekmatyar and then the Taliban. He was killed in the battle front near Kabul.
