Abdul Khaliq Hazara (assassin)
Assassin of Afghan king Nadir Shah
Abdul Khaliq Hazara (assassin)
Abdul Khaliq Hazara (Dari/Hazaragi: عبدالخالق هزاره; 1916 – December 18, 1933) was an Afghan Hazara high school student who assassinated the King of Afghanistan, Mohammad Nadir Shah, on 8 November 1933, during an award distribution ceremony. He was quickly arrested, and tortured to death. The motive for the assassination was reportedly in revenge for Nadir Shah's unjust taxes and extrajudicial killings of Hazaras, and for the killing of Ghulam Nabi Charkhi, a former Afghanistan ambassador to Moscow who took part in the Afghan civil war of 1928–29 as a supporter of the previous ruler, the reform-minded Amanullah Khan.
