	Mohammed Daoud Khan
		Mohammed Daoud Khan (1909 - 1978) was an Afghani statesman and President of the Republic of Afghanistan from 1973 until his assassination in 1978 as a result of a revolution led by the quasi-Marxist People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan[?] (PDPA).
		Khan was known for his progessive policies especially in relation to the rights of women and for initiating two five-year modernization plans (1956 - 1961 and 1962 - 1967) when he served as Prime Minister under King Zahir and a seven-year plan in 1976 when he was President.
		Khan and most members of his family were assassinated on April 28, 1978 a day after the commencement of the Marxist revolution that established the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan.

	History of Afghanistan
		Nur Mohammad Tarakai was a Shabikhel Tarakai Ghilzay Pashtun from the Sur Kelay village in the Nawa Valley in the Muqur District of Ghazni Province.
		Mohammad Na’eem, foreign minister in the new government of Premier Mohammad Daoud, recalled Tarakai because of his poor knowledge of English (G. Zurmulwal, personal communication, 1993).
		In Kabul, Tarakai was unemployed, and toward the end of the premiership of Mohammad Daoud, he made a trip to the Soviet Union, where the KGB is believed to have recruited him.

		The prime minister of Afghanistan, Mohammad Daoud Khan, pursued a foreign policy guided by two principles: balancing what he saw as pro-Western orientation on the part of previous governments by improving relations with the Soviet Union (without sacrificing U.S. economic aid), and pursuing the Pashtunistan [Pakhtunistan] issue by every possible means.
		Daoud believed that the rivalry between the two superpowers for local allies created a condition whereby he could play one against the other in his search for aid and development assistance.
		In 1960 the prime minister of Afghanistan, Mohammad Daoud Khan, sent troops across the border into Bajaur (Pakistan) in a foolhardy, unsuccessful attempt to manipulate events in that area and to press the Pashtunistan [Pakhtunistan] issue, but Afghan military forces were routed by the Pakistan military.

		Daoud was, as Fraser-Tytler puts it, "by temperament and training...of an authoritarian habit of mind." By all accounts, however, he was a dynamic leader whose accession to power marked major changes in Afghanistan's policies, both domestic and foreign.
		Daoud also increased control over the tribes, starting with the repression of a tribal war in the contentious Khost area adjacent to Pakistan in September 1959 and the forcible collection of land taxes in Qandahar in December 1959 in the face of antigovernment demonstrations promoted by local religious leaders.
		Daoud's social and economic policies within Afghanistan, reformist but cautious, were relatively successful; his foreign policy-which was carried out by his brother, Mohammad Naim-although fruitful in some respects, resulted in severe economic dislocation and, ultimately, his own political eclipse.

		As far as British interests were concerned, Abdur Rahman answered their prayers: a forceful, intelligent leader capable of welding his divided people into a state; and he was willing to accept limitations to his power imposed by British control of his country's foreign affairs and the British buffer state policy.
		Daoud's social and economic policies were cautiously reformist and relatively successful.
		Given Daoud's repressive and suspicious mood, officers known to have differed with Daoud, even those without PDPA ties or with only tenuous connections to the communists, moved hastily to prevent their own downfall.

		The PDPA claimed after its seizure of power that the perpetrator was an agent of Daoud, while other accounts suggest with varying degrees of credibility that the assassin was an Islamic militant, a member of SAVAK (Iran's secret police under the shah), or a member of a rival PDPA faction.
		Daoud clearly resented the Soviets, and he sought to reduce their influence by developing ties with the conservative Arab states of the Persian Gulf and, especially, with the shah of Iran.
