A number of military commanders said on Wednesday that General Muhayuddin Ghori, who died on Tuesday in the Badghis helicopter crash, had been committed to his country and was a good commander.
Muhayuddin had worked as operations commander, head of military brigade, head of 20th Pamir Army Division and 207 Zafar military corps commander over the past few years.
He always warned insurgents that security forces will eliminate them, said former colleagues.
Ghori managed complicated operations in Helmand province and had cleared most of the province of Taliban, they said.
"He was a military commander and a politician. He was appointed in key positions following the fall of Taliban and he managed to perform his duties successfully," said General Habib Rahman Afzal, deputy head of the strategic and public relations department for the ministry of defense.
Muhayuddin was appointed as head of 20th Pamir Army Division following the fall of Kunduz city to insurgents (last year). He launched many operations there and killed lots of insurgents and developed ways to fight the Taliban.
