Isn't "Gul" a title or honorific? It's Wikipedia policy not to include titles in article names. RickK 06:03, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I have no idea. If it is, move this article to Agha Sherzai. Also, if so, there should be an article written for gul. Kingturtle 06:09, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Well, I only know this from watching Star Trek:DS9 :) RickK 06:14, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Gul Agha is "flower" while Sherzai is "son of lion." --Kralizec! | talk 15:45, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This para doesn't make sense: In July 2006, Sherzai narrowly escaped an assassination attempt at a funeral outside Jalalabad. The attempt killed five police officers and wounded several more people, including some children. He opened the newly built highway connecting Jalalabad city with Torkham, which is the border town between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistan's prime minister Shaukat Aziz were also present there during the innauguration.[1] Taliban forces took credit for the attack.

Probably last sentence should go after ...some children. But I can't find a source for this Psandman 09:47, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
