2012-07-29
Four army officials including Kunar's Army Brigade Facility Chief were tossed in the clink
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
in connection with supplying forces of Evil with weapons, a front man for Afghan Ministry of Defense said on Saturday.

Spokesman Dawlat Waziri said that the men who had been tossed in the clink
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
were suspected of supplying forces of Evil with weapons. They were not, however, suspected of involvement in the planning or conduct of suicide or terrorist attacks.

"The Army Brigade Facility Manager in Kunar and three of his staff who had gathered weapons and were attempting to pass them to forces of Evil were tossed in the clink
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
with the help intelligence officials," Mr Waziri said.

Separately, Mr Waziri said that more than 1,300 foreign bases will be handed over to the Afghan authorities. They will be used by various government entities including the Ministry of Defense.

"In total, 1,300 foreign military bases will be handed to the Ministry of Defense as ordered by president Karzai," Mr Waziri said. "We will provide the bases to other ministries as well."
