Afghan VP Abdul Qadir buried with military honors
Vice President Abdul Qadir was buried in Jalalabad with full military honors a day after he was shot in Kabul. His death drew 10,000 mourners marching to Amir Shaheed Gardens as Afghan troops paid tribute. No group claimed responsibility. The attack raises fears of renewed instability in Nangarhar and complicates Karzai's push to extend authority.
