Assassination
Ahmadi was the target of a car bombing in June 2023 in Faizabad, the provincial capital of Badakhshan. A suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into the automobile carrying Ahmadi, setting up a huge explosion. Along with the driver of his vehicle, the acting governor died instantly. Additionally, six nearby citizens were hurt in the attack.[1][2][3]
