Dead Ambassadors: Another common denominator between Obama and Carter (Afghanistan, dictator, murder)

[Oldhag1]

The last time a US ambassador that was murdered in the line of duty was in 1979 under Jimmy Carter. Adolph Doss was serving in Afghanistan and died in the middle of a kidnapping attempt. Just one more thing the two have in common.

It is worth noting that, other than John Mein who was killed in Guatemala, every other murder of a US ambassador was in an Islamic nation.

Ambassador to Pakistan Arnold Raphel was killed in August 1988 in the same intentional plane crash that killed Pakistan's dictator Zia-ul-Haq. That's a bit different from most murders, since it was part of a game of political intrigue between the US and Russia, but it was a murder nonetheless.
