    Maryam Monsef, the Liberal cabinet minister feted as this country’s first Afghan-born MP, says she was shocked and angry when she found out — from a reporter — that she was not, in fact, born in the South Asian nation.

    It was actually the Ottawa bureau chief of the Globe and Mail newspaper that told Monsef last week that she was born in neighbouring Iran and not the country of her parents, as she was led to believe her entire life.

    “In recent days, my mother told me for the first time that my sisters and I were in fact born in Mashhad, Iran, approximately 200 kilometers from the Afghan border,” Monsef says in a statement.

    The minister for democratic reform — the youngest member of the Liberal cabinet — says her mother has since told her that the town where Monsef’s parents were married, Herat, became very dangerous during the Soviet era and afterwards.
