The man who is held responsible by the UN and human rights activists for the massacre and rape of ethnic Hazaras during Afghanistan’s civil war is leading the race to become the new speaker in the Afghan parliament - and has President Hamid Karzai’s backing.
Abdur Rab Rasul Sayyaf, alleged to be responsible for the Afshar massacre of 1993 and accused by the 9/11 commission of training Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the US attacks in 2001, has been polling marginally more votes than his closest rival as MPs debate how to choose a speaker after two inconclusive rounds of voting.
