| Afghan Warlord Says He's Underfed in U.S. Jail |
| 2005-07-01 |
| EFL:Sympathy meter please... An Afghan tribal leader who was arrested in New York in April on heroin trafficking charges is not getting enough to eat and is hampered from performing Muslim prayers in his prison cell, his lawyer said at a federal court hearing yesterday. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.... The leader, Hajji Bashir Noorzai, is being held in a segregated high-security cell in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, his lawyer, Stephen M. Goldenberg, said. He was arrested April 23 on charges of conspiring to sell more than $50 million in heroin from Afghanistan in the United States in the late 1990's and using the profits to buy guns and bombs in an "unholy alliance" with the Taliban government and its leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar. Allah like heroin! In June 2004 Mr. Noorzai, then a warlord in the Kandahar region in southern Afghanistan, was added to the Bush administration's list of most-wanted narcotics "kingpins." "Kingpin"? Is that above or below "mastermind"? In comments during and after the hearing, Mr. Goldenberg said Mr. Noorzai, who is confined to his cell 23 hours a day, had lost about 30 pounds in prison because he receives only small portions of food. The prison does not provide meals consistent with Muslim rules known as halal, which he observes. He is being fed a kosher diet, on the grounds that it is prepared on similar principles, Mr. Goldenberg said. Mr. Noorzai, 44, appeared in court yesterday looking noticeably thinner than he did at his first appearance in April. Here's an idea. Feed him pigshit. Because of a water leak on the floor of his cell, Mr. Noorzai prays on his bed, his lawyer said. He does not know which wall to face to look east, toward Mecca, because no prison guard speaks his Pashto language. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....Is his Koran okay though? I'm really worried about that. Dispelling a mystery about Mr. Noorzai's arrest, Mr. Goldenberg said his client had been lured to New York by United States officials who had invited him to a "high-level political meeting." Mr. Noorzai did not know that the administration had publicized his name as a most-wanted drug dealer. If he had known, "it might have affected his travel plans," Mr. Goldenberg said. Ya think? Smart guys, lawyers... After flying to New York, Mr. Noorzai met American agents in a Manhattan hotel, his lawyer said. "They spoke for a few hours and then handcuffs came out," he said. Mr. Noorzai says he supported the Taliban, the fundamentalist Islamic government that was ousted by United States-led forces in 2001, because it was "the legitimate government of Afghanistan," Mr. Goldenberg said. Federal prosecutors said Mr. Noorzai's heroin trade continued to thrive after the Taliban's fall and was undermining the young democracy in Afghanistan. They probably got it all on tape since lawyer boy isn't spouting the usual "a simple businessman" bullshit. |
