Born Asad Wasin Ghafur in 1972 in the city of Halabja, he completed the fourth grade of primary school. He was arrested in 1989 by the General Security of the Ba'athist regime in the city of Sulaymaniyah, and he remained in prison for a year and four months and was sentenced to death, but he was able to escape from prison during the Shiite uprising of the cities of Najaf and Karbala in 1991. In 1983, he headed to the village of Ahmad Awa to join the ranks of the Peshmerga, but he was not accepted by the Peshmerga commanders due to his young age. After his return from the mountain in 1983, he immediately connected with the secret cells of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and became a cadre in the cell of Hawraman Osman, who was the official of the organization affiliated with the Halabja local committee in the Fourth Branch of the Kurdistan Democratic Party. He was an educated and active cadre and supervised many activities.
He headed Asad Wasin Ghafur in October 1989 to the village of Bayanjan near the city of Sulaymaniyah to hold a meeting with the secret cells in the region, but one of the meeting participants was a traitor who revealed the time and place of the meeting. Asad was arrested by soldiers and cadres of the Ba'athist regime's intelligence and was surrounded from all sides. After being imprisoned for nine months, he was sent to the Northern Organization in Kirkuk, where he was sentenced to death. In order to carry out the decision of the Iraqi Revolutionary Court, Asad was transferred to Najaf prison, but when the popular uprising in Najaf began and the security situation in the city deteriorated, Asad Asad Wasin Ghafur looked for an exit and was able to escape from prison, and he participated with his Peshmerga comrades in the popular uprising of the people of Kurdistan.
He was wounded by a gunshot in his leg on March 7, 1991, during the seizure of the Bayanjan police station. After receiving treatment, he decided to continue the struggle, where he participated in the liberation of the Raparin region.
On March 8, 1991, during the liberation of the city of Sulaymaniyah, he fell into an ambush by the Ba'athist regime's soldiers. Initially, he was seriously wounded by shrapnel from a hand grenade at the gate of the Security Directorate (Amna Suraka), but he refused to retreat and continued his attack into the building. However, he was soon subjected to a hail of bullets and was martyred on the spot due to his serious injury, and his body was completely mutilated.
