| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Talibs group in Afghanistan confirmed Anas Haqqani has been sentenced to death by primary court of 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.... on Monday. Insisting on Anas’s innocence and lack of accountability, the group claimed the "American government and the Afghan government both do not have any proof or material etc to keep him in detention." The group further added that the death penalty of Anas Haqqani is politically imposed. "There are no legal grounds on which the death sentence could ever be awarded to Anas Haqqani." The remarks by Taliban came as there have been growing pleas by the Afghan people as well as several former Afghan officials to hang Anas. The Haqqani terrorist network is accused of staging numerous deadly attacks in Afghanistan including a coordinated attack on VIP protection unity in Kabul wich left at least 74 people dead and over 300 others maimed. The majority of the victims of the incident were ordinary civilians, according to the Afghan officials. In the meantime, the group released the latest video of the American and Canadian hostages in a bid to force the Afghan government prevent imposing death sentence on Anas. |
