From Josh Gerstein’s story for ABCNews.com, “Silver Screen Assassin”:

The new Iranian film Kandahar is winning raves from critics for its tale of life in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime, but one of the film’s stars has a pretty interesting story of his own: American prosecutors say he’s a fugitive and a murderer.

The movie’s credits identify him as Hassan Tantai, but authorities say he is actually David Belfield, an American under indictment for two decades for the murder of a former Iranian diplomat in a Washington, D.C., suburb.
