Arrived at Qandahār, Ahmad published the news of Nādir Shāh’s death. The Ghilzāi Afghān whom the Persian king had left as his governor in this fort, plotted to kill Ahmad by treachery. But the blow was anticipated. Abdāli killed the leading conspirators and took possession of Qandahār, where he crowned himself with full pomp and struck coins in his own name. (Mujmil, 75; Siyar, iii. 16.)
