Yesterday Clemenceau survived an assassination attempt. Today Habibullah Khan, the King of Afghanistan, is less lucky. He had kept his country neutral during the war, a policy that led to some disquiet in his country, as many Afghans are deeply hostile to the British Empire. Today while on a hunting trip Habibullah Khan is murdered. Mystery surrounds who exactly killed him and whether they were operating under orders.
Habibullah Khan had already named his brother, Nasrullah Khan, as his heir. In Kabul however his son Amanullah Khan begins preparations to seize the throne for himself.
