Four Al-Qaeda detainees escape Bagram



As unbelievable as it sounds, four "Arab" detainees held deep in the highly-secured Bagram Airbase north of Kabul have escaped. The US military seems to still be in shock that such an escape could happen, as the men would have eluded multiple layers of security. There is still no clear information explaining how the men managed to escape. The escaped men were from Libya, Kuwait, Syria, and Saudi Arabia.

The US reports that it is conducting a massive manhunt for the men with Afghan national forces. US military officials distributed photos of the men in Bagram village, claiming that they were "dressed in yellow jumpsuits" (when it seems obvious that they would have removed them as soon as possible, even before leaving Bagram.)

An anonymous American official told The Washington Post, "Even if those Arabs had wings, they should not have been able to escape."
