According to a report Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef was tortured excessively at the detention center. The torture was so excessive that he breathed his last at the camp, his relatives said.

However, neither the Afghan government nor the US sources have confirmed his death.

Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef was arrested by the Pakistan’s security forces loyal to the United States ignoring his diplomatic status and his application for political asylum in Pakistan to escape the wrath of Americans in Afghanistan.

He was the senior most official of the Taliban government who could be arrested by the US forces that too with the help of Musharraf regime.

Pakistani authorities later handed him over to their masters and they bundled him to Guantanamo prison facility in Cuba along with hundreds of other Afghan, Pakistan and Arab prisoners.

I'm betting that Mullah Zaeef is alive and well at Gitmo.

Probably couldn't handle the excitement. Let us hope he was able to supply a lot of useful info before breathing his last.

The killer "Fruit Loops" did him in-
he died of a sugar high, cursing Tony the Tiger.

The killer "Fruit Loops" did him in.

Pecked to death by toucans. If that's not a war crime, nothing is. I am ashamed to be an American.

Zaeef is alive; ICRC delivers his letter to his family

By our correspondent

QUETTA: Abdul Salam Zaeef, a former ambassador of Afghanistan in Islamabad is alive at the camp X-ray detention facility in Guantanamo, Cuba, sources said. Earlier some reports suggested that he had died because of torture.

According to the sources a letter of Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef was delivered to his family in Pakistan through the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC). The letter written about a couple of weeks ago shows that he is alive.

However, an ailing Afghan prisoner who was released a few days ago from Kandahar said that the detainees were being subject to severe torture and abuse. “They even unleash the dogs on the prisoners to hurt and torture them,” he added.
