:Talk:Zhari District

Province map of Kandahar (www.aims.org) [http://www.aims.org.af/home/ssroots.asp?seckeyz=z4&secido=13&seckeyt=a91&seckeyth=b174]

According to many sites and maps, the district does not exist in the Kandahar province.

However, I found the tidbit of info on a blog (yeah, I know...)

Jori, Zhari District, Kandahar Province: Suicide car bomb attack on an Afghan army patrol killed the bomber and wounded 6 troops. The Taliban claimed the responsibility of the attack. The Zhari District does not exist on normal maps, but it is north of the Arghandab River about 25-30 miles west of Kandahar in the Taliban-infested Panjwayi District. No called called Jori could be located on any map.

:Yes, the district definitely exists. It is relatively new, so some maps may not show it. It was created by Karzai as a reward for Alizai strongman Habibullah Jan in 2004.[https://books.google.com/books?id=-eQ_AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA281&lpg=PA281&dq=zhari+district+created+2004&source=bl&ots=VBYCihzeUO&sig=lFq7KQr01TkQcxTl4tDfMZhm4-s&hl=en&sa=X&ei=GtHTVIO0LYGvogTOl4HYAQ&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=zhari%20district%20created%202004&f=false] They have their own district governor (Jamal Agha as of 26 JAN 2015) and police chief (Masoom Khan, also spelled Masum Khan or Masoum Khan, as of the same date).[http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/world/2015-01/26/c_133947618.htm]

:The Institute for the Study of War has a map showing the borders of Zhari, Maiwand, Arghandab, and Panjwa'i districts.[http://www.understandingwar.org/sites/default/files/Zhari_Panjwai_ISAFops_SeptOct%20copy_0.gif] Benbanner (talk) 20:38, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
