Video: The legacy and future of the Afghan mujahedeen

Description

Fifteen years ago, just two days before the 9/11 attacks, Afghan military leader Ahmed Shah Massoud was assassinated. Nicknamed the "Lion of Panjshir" for the valley of northern Afghanistan he defended throughout his life - first against the Soviet invasion, then against the Taliban - he is still revered by locals there. Today, his son Ahmad appears ready to carry on his legacy. Our reporters went to meet the man emerging as the new leader of the Afghan mujahedeen.
