Habibullah Khan
a former Ameer of Afghanistan, born in Samarkand, 1872, assassinated in Afghanistan, Feb. 24, 1919. His father, Abdur Rahman, was in exile at the time of his birth. On his father's death, in 1901, who meanwhile had been reinstated as Ameer, the young prince ascended the throne. Although previously known as anti-British, he visited India soon after his rise to power, and ever after maintained friendly relations with the British Viceroy. During the World War he maintained strict neutrality, and shortly before his death was arranging an anti- Bolshevik alliance with neighboring rulers of central Asia.
