Kabul attacker likely released from Bagram prison during Karzai era
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] New reports have emerged new the deadly Kabul...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... attack which left at least 64 people dead and 347 others maimed as the attack has sent shockwaves across the country and globally. According to the new reports, the main attacker involved in the deadly attack was likely released from the prison when Karzai administration was in power. The Presidential Palace officials have said they are aware regarding the report, promising that the government will thoroughly investigate regarding the release of the attacker and circumstances surrounding his release. The release of prisoners had turned into a controversial issue as Afghanistan was preparing for the Presidential Elections early in 2014. The government released almost 88 prisoners from Bagram prison despite growing concerns by the United States and coalition forces in Afghanistan. The US Forces in Afghanistan in a statement said earlier in 2014 that "The release of these dangerous individuals poses a threat to U.S., coalition and Afghan National Security Forces, as well as the Afghan population. Insurgents in the group released today have killed coalition and Afghan forces." The released detainees were also accused of killing Afghan men, women and kiddies. "More than two dozen of the individuals released were linked to the production or emplacement of improvised bombs, the number one killer of Afghan civilians," the statement added. Earlier, a panel was formed to review the cases of the prisoners which reported that no evidences or documents were found to prove that the inmates were posing threats to the country or international community.
