Afghan Freed From Guantanamo Arrives in Kabul
[ToloNews] Asadullah Haroon,
...also in our archives as Haroon al-Afghani. Asadullah Haroon “al Afghani” Gul, as he is listed in his lawsuit against Donald J. Trump, et al demanding his release as a mere member of merely Al Qaeda-linked Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin rather than a full member of boogey-groups Al Qaeda and the Taliban. The lawsuit ignored the fact that the innocent economist was also an admitted courier for senior Al Qaeda leaders...
one of two Afghans recently released from the US detention area in Guantanamo Bay, arrived in Kabul on Saturday.

Haroon said US forces treated him in a bad manner and that the US lacked documents to prove his guilt.

"There was no legal grounds for detaining me in Guantanamo. They didn’t have any legal documents about me. They would make allegations one after another. I think they were just wasting time and then finally thought to free me," he said.
"Thanks, Asadullah. Your valuable intel helped us eliminate multiple ISIS, AQ, and Taliban heads. Your account has been paid. Stay in touch!"
The Islamic Emirate said that Haroon was freed as a result of engagement between the US and Kabul but did not provide details.

Haroon was welcomed by senior Islamic Emirate officials, including Amir Khan Muttaqi, acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Zabiullah Mujahid, the Islamic Emirate’s front man.

"The engagement which we now have with the US--we have made good progress in this regard and it resulted in the release of (Haroon). We hope for further progress and another brother of ours will be freed too," Muttaqi told news hounds.

"The Islamic Emirate says to the nation that we will reach out to any Afghans who are detained abroad. And we will address their problems. We are assessing the cases of detainees in other countries too and some of them will be soon, inshallah, be released," Mujahid told the news hounds.

Haroon was arrested in 2007 by US forces in eastern Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
province.
