Actor tied to 1980 assassination linked to Kandahar film
Montgomery County prosecutors say Hassan Tantai, who acts as an American doctor in Kandahar, is actually Daoud Salahuddin born David Belfield, a confessed assassin involved in the 1980 killing of Iranian diplomat Ali Akbar Tabatabai. They allege he fled to Iran after the attack and that no statute of limitations applies to the murder. The film, directed by Mohsen Makhmalbaf, stars Tantai as an American-born doctor in Taliban era Afghanistan and was released in New York on December 14.
