In that opportunity, communist Gral Shahnawaz Tanai and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar attempted to overtrown the Government, but their plans were discovered by the WAD under his command. After the collapse of President Najibullah's on April, 1992, he was assassinated by the Mujahideen or took suicide. Although the new ruling council eventually declared a general amnesty, there were other instances of summary execution and reprisal killings by various forces after the coup. Some sources claimed that he killed himself after learning of the President's attempted escape.
