In April of 1992, the Mujihadeen captured Kabul defeating the Soviet installed Government. The last troops to surrender were the secret police elite unit. After fighting most of the night, the Mujihadeen forces entered the sprawling compound. As the Mujahideen were ransacking what was left of the compound two young Mujahideen came across a secret police officer hiding in the wreckage of an office. After searching, tying him in with a sheet and marching him outside he was grabbed by another Mujihadeen who shot him continuously at close range with his AK-47.
