Fazal Haq Mujahid (1954–1997) was an Afghan military leader and politician. An active military and political involvement against the Soviet Union earned him a respected role in the country diverse political spectrum, but was very soon assassinated by unknown gunmen in late 1990s. He was considered to be one of the very few undisputed political leaders who fought the USSR invasion and wanted to carry the victory by establishing or helping to establish a government to solve the political crisis. Because of his efforts, Nangarhar saw an early and balanced administration amid the disagreeable and severe political situations in the country.
