MASSOUD WAS KILLED IN A SUICIDE ATTACK JUST DAYS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11TH
LAST YEAR.

GO AHEAD.
THE AFGHAN DEFENCE MINISTER, GENERAL MOHAMMED FAIM, MOURNED MASSOUD'S
DEATH:
HE SAID: "I feel sorry, very sorry, he did not live to see the victory
that he made possible".
HIS SON AHMAD MASSOUD NOW CARRIES THE WEIGHT OF HIS FATHER'S LEGACY -

(ON CAMERA)
Concern over security is extremely high here, verging on paranoia. As we
entered the stadium a security official we knew took us aside and warned
us to be careful, because, quote, "we have many enemies here today".
THOSE ENEMIES HAVE PUT THIS CITY ON EDGE. A MASSIVE CAR BOMB LAST WEEK
KILLED TWENTY EIGHT PEOPLE.
HOURS LATER, THE AFGHAN PRESIDENT NARROWLY ESCAPED AN ATTEMPT ON HIS
LIFE.
TODAY'S SECURITY WAS SO TIGHT IT DISRUPTED THE CEREMONY AT TIMES.
MILITARY HELIPCOPTERS BUZZED THE STADIUM SO LOW THEY REPEATEDLY DROWNED
OUT THE SPEAKERS.
MASSOUD'S SUPPORTERS PAID HOMAGE WITH FLOWERS AND TRIBUTES BUT NOT
EVERYBODY HERE SHARED THEIR SENTIMENTS.

DON'T SEE MASSOUD AS A NATIONAL HERO -
THEY REMEMBER HIM AS AN ENEMY FROM THE CIVIL WAR.
