Journalist continues to be held at US Air Force base in AfghanistanPosted Apr 2 2008
An Afghan journalist working for Canadian Television continues to be held without charge at the United States' Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. Jawed Ahmad has been held at the base since October 2007, but the Department of Defense says the reasons for his ongoing detention are classified and cannot be released, the New York Times reports.
He was originally arrested at a NATO base in Kandahar, and then was transferred to the U.S. base, which is suspected of being a detention facility.
