| Several of Hek’s Top Boyz Detained |
| 2004-01-21 |
| EFL: Peacekeepers and Afghan police arrested several top agents of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar the peacekeeping chief said Wednesday. More than three "main actors" in Hekmatyar’s organization were detained in the Afghan capital, Kabul, Lt. Gen. Goetz Gliemeroth, the commander of the NATO -led peacekeeping force in Kabul, said. More than three, 4 , 8 , 16? At least one of the men is suspected in a mine blast that killed two Canadian soldiers in October. All are now in American custody. A man identified as Abu Bakr was arrested in Kabul five days after the mine blast, and Gliemeroth said there was "very strong evidence" that he had been involved in the attack. Gliemeroth didn’t identify the other men or provide further details, including when the other arrests were made. He said the investigation was still continuing. "I can say no more." Gliemeroth said Kabul police sent the men for detention to the main U.S. military base at Bagram, north of the capital. Only real "players" get invited to Bagram. U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty said he couldn’t comment on any detainees at Bagram, where the American military has a jail for terrorist suspects. Nobody comments on anything or anyone at Bagram. It’s a black hole, just like the prison at the Baghdad airport where Iraq’s Most Wanted go. |
