Fascinating. I've often wondered if this has been done. Any ref links?
On a point of accuracy, it was probably al Qaeda that assassinated him, not
the Taliban.

This is some sort of drama-doc about it. I can't find any footage but I
remember seeing some at the time. Subsequent events overshadowed his
assassination though.

At the time the Taliban and A Qaeda were joined at the hip, and it was a
distinction without a difference. That's still more or less true.
