Mullah Arsala Rahmani, a member of the Afghanistan Peace Council was assassinated today, and may leave a big impact in Afghan. He was killed by a gunman while heading to an inaugural of a new government body, which eventually got canceled because of his death. They are still underway with the investigation, but one says says that since Rahmani was a former Taliban minister, it may be possible that they did it, but the spokesman for Taliban went on the phone and has stated that they are not the ones behind the assassination, and it is also not possible that he did it because Taliban has never done anything to make him mad. The site reports that it will leave a big impact in the country because he was an important go-between talks for peace conferences. He was also a trusted leader and someone who played an important role in ensuring the peace talks in the conferences.  Adding on, he also was part of making the Talibans and Haqqanis moderate there schools and education system. I think that because of a death of a very important person, that they will either have to halt everything right now and take it one by one slowly, and investigate more to find out who killed Rahmani and why.
