Shortly after Michele Flournoy, the undersecretary of defense for policy, told a Senate panel this morning that “we are regaining the initiative and insurgency is beginning to lose momentum,” insurgents assassinated Hajji Abdul Jabar, the governor of Arghandab district in Kandahar. According to The Wall Street Journal, insurgents detonated a car bomb next to his vehicle in the center of Kandahar city.
Reaction from a prepared statement from Gen. McChrystal emailed to reporters, which called Jabar “a dedicated public servant”:
“Governor Jabar was working to improve the lives of the people in Arghandab. This attack shows the insurgents’ cannot offer a better alternative for peace and security. Their actions will only increase the suffering of those who seek a better future for Afghanistan,” said Gen. Stanley McChrystal, International Security Assistance Force Commander.
“We offer our sincere condolences and sympathy to the family of Governor Jabar and to the people of Arghandab. We will continue to stand by our partners in the Afghan government and security forces who are bravely serving their country each day,” said Gen. McChrystal.
