A powerful political figure in northern Afghanistan, Mr. Mohseni, an ethnic Tajik from the province’s Andarab valley, was closely associated with the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance of Tajik, Uzbek and Hazara commanders. His brother, Azim Mohseni, is an influential lawmaker in Kabul.

She said tensions at the ceremony were high, as many worried they worried they would be targeted next.
Ms. Aimaq said she fears the security situation in her home province is deteriorating, after what seemed like an improvement a year ago. “Last winter, the Taliban were absent in parts of the province, but now they are back,” she said.
Baghlan became more violent as the surge of foreign troops in 2010-2011 pushed the Taliban out of their traditional strongholds in the south to other parts of the country. “Day by day, the Taliban are advancing into new districts,” the late Mr. Mohseni told The Wall Street Journal in a 2010 interview.
On Thursday another insurgent group, Hezb-e-Islami, killed at least 15 people, including six Americans, in a suicide bombing that targeted a coalition convoy in Kabul. And on Friday, Taliban bombings killed at least six civilians and three policemen in the southern city of Kandahar. Separate attacks in the provinces of Farah, Khost and Helmand in recent days killed several other policemen and civilians.
The Taliban have been focusing on hitting Afghan forces, which take increasing responsibility for security as most foreign troops prepare to withdraw from the country by the end of next year.
