Afghan Suspect Blames U.S. Commandos for Civilian Murders
2013-07-17
[An Nahar] An Afghan accused of torturing and murdering civilians while working for U.S. special forces denies the charges and says he followed American orders, according to a report obtained by Agence La Belle France Presse on Tuesday.

Zakrya Kandahari, who worked as an interpreter, was nabbed
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
by Afghanistan's premier intelligence agency around six weeks ago.

According to a copy of an investigation report confirmed as authentic by a security official, intelligence agents have a video showing Kandahari beating a prisoner.

Afghan authorities are investigating allegations that armed Afghans working with U.S. special forces harassed, tortured and murdered civilians in Wardak province, a Taliban flashpoint on the doorstep of Kabul.

President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtun face on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use...
ordered U.S. special forces to leave Wardak in February, although a compromise deal later announced that they would leave only Nerkh, one of eight districts in Wardak and the district where Kandahari worked.

"Zakrya himself has denied the accusations, saying he was under the command of others," said a copy of the report obtained by AFP.

Instead he blamed the murders on three Americans, whom he named as Dave, Hagen and Chris, and whom he said were fluent in Afghanistan's two main languages Dari and Pashto.

"'I was simply a low-rank translator and did not have authorization to roam around inside the base, or (go) to interrogation sections," the report quoted Kandahari as saying.

#3  Must have seen "WHITE HOUSE DOWN", where highly-trained USA Delta Force, etc. Soldiers-Commandoes are deliberat compromised + their covert identities exposed by the Black POTUS + Admin in Washington, + whom ultimately are forced to to suffer two years? incarceration in a violent Afghan prison, wid no help from either the WH + US Congresscritters because the latter wish to pretend the Commandoes + their secret activities in the name of the US never e-v-a-r existed.

#2  Depending on the definition of torture and civilian, he could be telling the truth.
