US Closes Bagram Prison, Says It Has No More Detainees In Afghanistan
2014-12-12
[Dawn] KABUL: The United States closed the Bagram detention facility on Dec 10 and no longer has custody of any detainees in Afghanistan, the US Defense Department said, closing a controversial chapter of Washington's long ?war on terror?

The US released last three detainees from the notorious Bagram prison renamed as Parwan Detention Center in Afghanistan, ending its prisons operations.

Two of the detainees, including Redha al-Najar, were transferred into Afghan custody for possible prosecution, while the third wasn't considered a threat and is seeking resettlement in another country.

#4  Is the US [ + UK] sure about that?

* SIASAT DAILY > 81 PERCENT OF AMERICANS EXPECTING [De facto?] ATTACKS BY ISLAMIC STATE ON US SOIL: [Fox News] POLL, While 48% believe such attacks are "likely", IIUC anticipated or possible to happen but may not occur.

56 PERCENT = want GITMO to stay open.

Nice to know mainstream America still maintains its sanity even as Washington steadily loses theirs.

* ALso from SIASAT DAILY > UN SECURITY COUNCIL CALLS FOR CONTINUED COOPERATION ON AFGHANISTAN.

Mama Russia + Darth Putin leading the Stay-in-Afghanistan charge.

Given various Regional + International concerns like ...

* SAME, TOPIX > ISLAMIC STATE TRYING TO TURN PAKISTAN INTO "ISI/ISIS-STAN": ACTIVIST.

* SAME > PAKISTAN FACING MORE [Militant-Security]]THREATS FROM NON-STATE ACTORS.

Lastly,

* SAME, TOPIX > PAKISTAN ARRESTS FIVE MEMBERS OF "AL QAIDA INDIA" IN KRARACHI.

Includ AQII's alleged El Supremo = Chief.

#3  Maybe when they get a voter's ID card in the US, they'll focus their energies on electing more compliant libtards?
