epa02322903 Afghan women cover their faces as they wait for the ceremony to mark the ninth death anniversary of assassinated anti-Taliban Afghan rebel leader Ahmad Shah Masood, in Kabul, Afghanistan, on 08 September 2010. Ahmed Masood was the victim of a suicide attack in Khvajeh Ba Odin 09 September 2001, two days before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, a timing considered significant by some commentators who believe Osama bin Laden ordered the assassination to ensure he would have the Taliban's protection and cooperation in Afghanistan.
