Shamsur Rahman Kallue (Urdu: شمس الرحمان کلو; 28 February 1932 – 19 December 1995) was the ninth Director General of the ISI and was in office from May 1989 – August 1990.
The American intelligence agency CIA wanted him to meet Massoud to put forward U.S. interests in the region.
Insight wrote (ibid): The next day Massoud headed off through the Hindu Kush mountain range to the border of Pakistan for a secret meeting scheduled on another mountain side with Gen. Shamsur Rahman Kallue, whose orders the fiercely independent Massoud has consistently refused to follow.
After crossing two mountain passes deep in snow on his way to The Rendezvous, Massoud received a message asking him to move up the appointment.
His mother, Zubeda Begum, also died two years later on 5 March 1997 and was buried alongside her son in Army cemetery Westridge, Rawalpindi.
