KABUL (AT News): Former President Hamid Karzai on Friday extended his sympathies over the demise of eastern Kunar’s former governor, Sayed Fazl Akbar Agha, to his family and friends.

“It’s very tragic to learn the news of Akbar Agha’s death. Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Allah we shall return,” said Karzai in a statement released by his office.
