Zahir Shah was 92. Seen as weak but well-meaning during his 40-year reign, Zahir Shah became a symbol of yearned-for peace and unity in a nation still struggling to emerge from the turmoil that began with his 1973 ouster in a palace coup. "He was the servant of his people, the friend of his people, he was a very kind person, kind hearted. He believed in the rule of the people and in human rights", Karzai said. Karzai announced three days of mourning over the death of the king, whose body will lie in state at a mosque in Kabul then will be taken by carriage to a hillside tomb.

Wide shot of tomb where King Zahir Shah's body will be interred STORYLINE; Dignitaries, lawmakers and family members said goodbye to Afghanistan's last king during a ceremony that began at the presidential palace in Kabul on Tuesday. Zahir Shah died on Monday after a long illness at the age of 92. An honour guard carried a coffin draped in the Afghan flag containing the body of Mohammad Zahir Shah to a viewing stand under the shade of pine trees in the palace grounds. The coffin, led by an armoured military vehicle was then taken through Kabul's silent streets vehicle to the Eidga mosque for a prayer ceremony President Hamid Karzai, wearing a traditional blue and green Afghan robe, Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband and US Ambassador William Wood were among those attending. Afghan politicians and family members stood solemnly as a message was read from US President George W. Bush, who called Zahir Shah "a monumental figure in Afghan history" who "supported the goal of a representative and freely elected government in his homeland." Zahir Shah's death ended the last vestige of Afghanistan's monarchy. His death triggered three days of national mourning for a man still feted as the "Father of the Nation" since his return from exile after the 2001 ouster of the Taliban. Zahir Shah's body was later due to be buried in a hilltop shrine in Kabul next to his late wife and other members of the royal family. Police increased their presence in the area of Maranjan Hill, where local and foreign dignitaries were expected to pay their last respects for a man who oversaw four decades of relative peace before a 1973 palace coup ousted him and war shattered his country. Kabul's police chief said police were stationed at distant high points where militants could launch rocket strikes at the hilltop funeral site. Though he was not always effective during his 40-year reign, Zahir Shah is remembered warmly by his conflict-weary countrymen for steering the country without bloodshed. Born Oct. 15, 1914, Zahir Shah was proclaimed monarch in 1933 at age 19 within hours of the death of his father, King Muhammad Nadir Shah, who was assassinated before his eyes. His neutral foreign policy and limited liberalisation of a deeply conservative society managed to keep the peace - a golden age in the eyes of many Afghans pained by the extremism and slaughter that followed. Britain's Queen Elizabeth II called the king's passing a "great loss," while Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said Afghanistan lost a "statesman of great stature."

Wide of Karzai leaving the media followed by government officials STORYLINE: Afghan President Hamid Karzai made a public announcement in Kabul on Monday of the death of Mohammad Zahir Shah, the last king of Afghanistan who returned from three decades of exile to bless his war-battered country's fragile course toward democracy. Zahir Shah was 92. Seen as weak but well-meaning during his 40-year reign, Zahir Shah became a symbol of yearned-for peace and unity in a nation still struggling to emerge from the turmoil that began with his 1973 ouster in a palace coup. "He was the servant of his people, the friend of his people, he was a very kind person, kind hearted. He believed in the rule of the people and in human rights", Karzai said. When the fall of the Taliban at the end of 2001 offered fresh hope for national reconciliation, many clamoured for Zahir Shah's return, not only from exile but to retake the throne. Zahir Shah returned home from Italy in April 2002, but stood aside in favour of a young anti-Taliban tribesman, the now-President Karzai. A new constitution passed in January 2004 consigned the monarchy to history with Zahir Shah named the ceremonial "Father of the Nation", a position that will dissolve with his death. Since returning to Afghanistan, Zahir Shah left the country several times for medical treatment. Born October 15, 1914, Zahir Shah was proclaimed monarch within hours of the death of his father, King Mohammad Zahir Shah who was assassinated before his eyes. Zahir Shah was only 19. He was not a dynamic ruler, with uncles and cousins holding the real power during most of Zahir Shah's reign, during which Afghanistan remained poor and forgotten. But his neutral foreign policy and limited liberalisation of a deeply conservative society managed to keep the peace, a golden age in the eyes of many Afghans pained by the extremism and slaughter that followed. Karzai announced three days of mourning over the death of the king, whose body will lie in state at a mosque in Kabul then will be taken by carriage to a hillside tomb.

Wide shot of tomb where King Zahir Shah's body will be interred STORYLINE: Mohammad Zahir Shah, the last king of Afghanistan, who returned from three decades of exile to bless his war-battered country's fragile course toward democracy, has died, said President Hamid Karzai on July 23rd. He was 92. A weak but well-meaning monarch during his 40-year reign, Zahir Shah was a symbol of yearned-for peace and unity in a nation still struggling to emerge from the turmoil that began with his 1973 deposing in a palace coup. When the fall of the Taliban at the end of 2001 offered fresh hope for national reconciliation, many clamoured for Zahir Shah's return - not only from exile but to retake the throne. Shah was born on October 15, 1914, the only surviving son of assassinated King Nadir Shah, and was educated in Kabul and in France. Shah was proclaimed king on November 8, 1933, within a few hours of his father's assassination, and adopted the title Mutawakkil Ala'llah, Pairaw-i Din-i Matin-i Islam (Confident in God, Follower of the Firm Religion of Islam). During the early period of his reign (1933-46), the young king reigned while his uncles Muhammad Hashim and Shah Mahmud Ghazi ruled. But in 1964 he imposed a new constitution which excluded members of the royal family from certain government positions, provided for a bicameral parliament, free elections, a free press, and the formation of political parties. It ushered in a period of unprecedented political tolerance.Foreign aid from East and West kept flowing into the country, and Kabul experienced considerable growth. Zahir Shah toured Afghanistan on several occassions and frequently travelled abroad. In 1973 while on holiday on an Italian island off Naples, Shah's cousin Muhammad Daud staged a coup and established a republican government with himself as president. After 40 years of rule in Afghanistan, Zahir Shah went into exile in Italy. During his exile Afghanistan suffered a Soviet invasion which triggered a decade of civil war. The Taliban, which means Students of Islam, emerged in 1994, pledging to bring peace to Afghanistan. Many blame the Taliban for increasing the suffering of Afghanistan's already impoverished people with their harsh rule and continued campaign against the opposition. In 1991, Zahir was stabbed in an assassination attempt at his villa in Olgiata, on the outskirts of Rome. For the next decade he kept a low profile and was rarely seen in public. But as the US prepared for a military strike on Afghanistan in retaliation for the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, there was a flurry of diplomatic activity around the king. He was regarded as a unifying figure among Afghanistan's various ethnic groups. It was also thought he could play an important role in forming a post-Taliban transitional government. In December2006 , just days after attending Eid festivities marking the end of the Islamic month of fasting, Ramadan, the King's 56-year-old son Shah Mahmoud Zahir died of cancer in Rome. The body was flown back to Kabul for the funeral and burial which the king attended amid tight security.
