False Intelligence, Night Raids And Crass Incompetence

That dawn, ten males – including Bashir, Zabihullah and 16-year-old high school student Raees Khan – were led blindfolded on foot to the district’s army base, then flown by helicopter to the coalition’s Forward Operating Base (FOB) Fenty in Jalalabad. Nine of them were held in small, solitary rooms and questioned over a one to three-day period about their daily activities before being released separately outside Fenty’s main gate. They were each given 20 dollars for transport home. Link.

  1. Another "successful" U.S. raid ends "without a shot fired." The intel mix up must be Pakistan's fault.
