Najibah tried to comfort her daughter Zahra (8) as they both wept over the grave of their husband and father, just south of Kunduz City. Sub Caption: During the two week takeover of Kunduz City by the Taliban from September 28 - October 12, 43-year-old Baynazar Mohammad Nazar (***First name only to be used because of potential threats to his family***) was shot in crossfire between government forces and Taliban fighters on his way home from where he works as a Chowkidor (unarmed guard) in Kunduz City. He spent the next two and a half days being operated on and recovering in the nearby MSF Kunduz Trauma Center. At around 2AM on Saturday, October 3, however, Baynazar was one of at least thirty patients, patient carers and staff who were killed when a U.S. AC-130 gunship destroyed much of the hospital after receiving a request for air support from Afghan Commandos in the area. Baynazar's family spent ten days searching for him - from Kunduz to Baghlan Province to Mazar-e Sharif and back to Kunduz, eventually being told by a shopkeeper near the hospital that he and 12 others had been taken from the hospital and buried on the edge of the city. He is survived by his wife, Najibah, sons, Samiullah (19) and Mohammad Khalid (6) and daughters Raiana (10) and Zahra (8). Longform’s Picks of the Week
