US Hands Full Control of Bagram Prison to Afghanistan
March 25, 2013
Afghanistan has taken full control of a controversial detention
center from the United States.
Bagram military prison was handed over to Afghanistan in a ceremony Monday. The transfer was scheduled to happen earlier this month, but was abruptly canceled just before a ceremony was to begin. A NATO spokesman said then that the transfer would proceed once the two sides had reached a "full agreement." A deal was finally clinched Saturday in a phone conversation between
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
