Time opined that his family's background in the northwest meant that he likely spoke Pashto, a rare asset in the training camps compared to other Western volunteers.[25] Faiz Ahmed, a former mayor in Mohib Banda – his ancestral home – and a close friend of his father, said in this regard in an interview with National Public Radio: "This is a tragedy for me and every Pakistani, every Pashtun."[26] Shahzad comes from a wealthy, well-educated family in northwest Pakistan.[7] His father, Baharul Haq, lives in a suburb of Peshawar. He was a senior official in the Pakistan Air Force, holding the rank of Air Vice-Marshal (the equivalent of a two-star general) before leaving the air force in 1992,[7][27] and is a deputy director general of the Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan.[28][29][30] He had begun as a common airman, but became a fighter pilot excelling in aerobatics, and was posted in England and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.[3] | Time opined that his family's background in the northwest meant that he likely spoke Pashto, a rare asset in the training camps compared to other Western volunteers.[25] Faiz Ahmed, a former mayor in Mohib Banda – his ancestral home – and a close friend of his father, said in this regard in an interview with National Public Radio: "This is a tragedy for me and every Pakistani, every Pashtun."[26] Shahzad comes from a wealthy, well-educated family in northwest Pakistan.[7] His father, Baharul Haq, lives in a suburb of Peshawar.
