Modern Government
"Mr. Khan's son, Mir Wais Sadeq, the minister of civil aviation for the central government, was killed as he led an advance on the headquarters of a government commander whom he blamed for the assault on his father, said Herat's deputy intelligence chief, Abdul Wahid Tawakali. "
Hmm, I'm trying to imagine reading a local news account in which our minister for civil aviation is described as leading an attack on a commander in the military.
I can't do it, and it doesn't help if I try to imagine that the reason is that he suspects the commander of being involved in an assassination attempt on the member of parliamentwarlord.
