During the Afghan war, Poyan escaped to the U.S. – where his family still lives – but he later returned to continue work in Afghanistan. On behalf of the entire Resolute Support Mission, our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the innocent people murdered and wounded in this incident,” General John Nicholson, Resolute Support commander told Fox News in a statement.
