| U.S. frees more Taliban suspects in Afghanistan |
| Saturday, July 09, 2005 |
The U.S. military freed 76 Taliban suspects on Saturday as part of an effort to encourage rank and file guerrillas to lay down their arms, the latest batch freed this year despite a surge in militant violence.
The men, detained at various stages in the U.S.-led battle against Taliban guerrillas since toppling the fundamentalists from power in 2001, were freed from a U.S. military detention centre at the main U.S. base at Bagram to the north of Kabul.
Another group of 57 were freed early this month, 53 in June, 86 in May and 81 in January.
(*J.R.*): Are they going out of their minds ? Why are we releasing these ruthless killers. This is a huge mistake in my opinion, you will only be facing these people again and they may kill some of our soldiers. |
