Jehandad Khan (d. 1914) was an Afghan rebel emir who ruled only in Khost for a few weeks.
He was born as a member of the Ghilzai tribe,[2] and spent most of his life as a chieftain.
[2] After start of the Khost rebellion on 2 May 1912,[3] he briefly laid claim to the Afghan throne in opposition to Habibullah Khan,[2] but an offensive by Muhammad Nadir Khan forced him to flee to the British Raj by the end of the same month.
[1] He then appealed to the British authorities for an intervention in Afghanistan to aid the rebellion, but was unsuccessful.
[2] Later in 1912, Jehandad managed to return to Afghanistan, where he was apprehended, put on trial, sentenced to death and executed by a firing squad[1] in 1914.
