Mohammad Qaseem Fahim has been appointed the new Defense Minister of the Islamic State of Afghanistan. He replaced Commander Ahmad Shah Masood, who was martyred in a suicidal bomb attack carried out by Usama Bin Laden's agents on September 9.

Fahim worked as Commander Masood's deputy in military affairs and commander of the Mujahideen in the northern sector.

After the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in 1996, Commander Fahim was appointed the commander of Mujahideen forces north of Kabul. Later, he was transferred to the north of the country.

Fahim was appointed Minister of National Security in the Mujahideen government in 1992. He also served as the commander of the state's forces in Kabul for four years.
