He said an investigation was launched hours before Haji Qadir hand over his guard to the police.
According to Khogyani, the guard was accused of killing a civilian identified as Gulistan but it is yet not clear why the civilian was rubbed out.
This is not the first time reports emerge regarding the killing of civilians by the government security guards but numerous such incidents have taken place in other provinces and cities, including capital Kabul.
However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
the majority of the incidents in the past have taken place due to errors and misunderstandings as the security guards mistake the civilians for murderous Moslems and open fire on them, specifically when the civilians conduct gun sexs or refrain from the warnings issued to them.
