HistoryCommons 
Hello,
I wanted to find HCI email through search. I faced with the HistoryCommons publication about HCI.
Anyway, I read about HCI, particulary about ‘Ahmad Siad Khadr’ the previous regional director of HCH in Pakistan. Khadr was famous with a given name Abu Abdur Rahman. Abu Abdur Rahman is his second son.
I found some of the news in historycommons completly wrong. For example Khadr was not arrested on the border as Pakistani press ‘the news’ saying. He was arrested in his house in Hayatabad near to Peshawar cantt where he had been returned from Khost, south eastern province of Afghanistan. He had left Khost through Kacha Pakha, and Shaheedanu Dand (border areas with Afg)and intered Ango and Banu and finally Peshawar. His house in Hayatabad and his office in Jahangir Abad had already been under controll of FIA and Special Branch plolices…
When he was killed, Abdur Rahman his seriously injured son was captured a live by US troops and taken to Bagram base north of Kabul. It means that late Khadr was killed in face to face fighting with US troops in south eastern border areas inside Afghanistan a long with his older son Abdullah…
I hope it will be clear.
Abu Abdur Rahman was really a nice man. Once he siad “Brother, he sheep is for sacrfice!”. He was a strict and hard working person. He was fasting every Monaday and Thursday. He served our orphans and widows through sustainable projects. Akora Khattack Vocational School in Peshawar is one of the example…Nowadays, that school is running by new HCI!
May Allah bless his soul

Hi Nick,
There is a much more active discussion on the HC Groups blog at http://hcgroups.wordpress.com/ which you are welcome to join. This is not a particularly active blog, as it is primarily used for announcements pertaining to the History Commons. Thanks for posting.
