The Ministry of Interior has expressed deep concern over the passing of Jibra’il Omar (Timothy Weeks), an Australian professor who had been living and working in Kabul.
In a statement, the ministry revealed that Jibra’il Omar, who was captured by the Mujahedeen during the occupation, was later released through a prisoner exchange and voluntarily converted to Islam.
The ministry noted that Mr. Omar had recently been serving as an English professor in Kabul and had been suffering from cancer for an extended period before his death.
