JALALABAD, Afghanistan (AP) -- In real life he's a pharmacist, a polite young man who dispenses antibiotics and advice in a tiny Jalalabad shop barely 40 miles (60 kilometers) from where Osama bin Laden disappeared into the mountains.
But when evening falls, when Zhaid Khan shuts the pharmacy's gates and sends his young assistant home, he becomes someone else. Then he's a lover (albeit a chaste one). He's a singer (or at least a lip-syncher). He's a fighter, a hero, a defender of the powerless.
You've never heard of him, but Zhaid Khan is a movie star.
