Kabul, Rabi'II 24, 1434, Mar 6, 2013, SPA - US troops have arrested "innocent" Afghans who would be freed immediately, President Hamid Karzai said Wednesday, three days before his government takes full control of Bagram prison north of Kabul. "We know as a fact that innocent people are jailed in these prisons," Karzai told lawmakers as they returned to the capital after their winter break. "I'll issue a decree to free them immediately and let them join their families..," Karzai said, adding that those involved in killings of Afghans and bombings would remain in custody. "After March 9, no Afghans will be in US custody anymore," Karzai spokesman Aimal Faizi said, adding the custody transfers involved about 400 prisoners. "There are dozens of dangerous prisoners who will remain in Afghan custody," Faizi was quoted as saying by DPA. --SPA 14:10 LOCAL TIME 11:10 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1084916
