Mohammad Zabihullah was an anti-Soviet resistance leader in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Zabihullah was a former religious school teacher, member of the Jamiat-e Islami movement, and lead the faction in Balkh Province until his assassination by KhAD in December 1984, which threw his resistance in Balkh into disarray.[1]
He commanded Balkh with several thousand fighters and was one of the best known commanders to the Western press in the 1980-1984 period. He had been described as an "excellent organizer." Zabiullah, like Massoud, also established civil administration in his region such as literacy classes and schools.[2]
On 14 December 1984, Zabihullah was killed when his Jeep ran over a landmine.[3]
