AGO Reportedly Summoned Kabul Garrison Chief Over Shooting

Sources have said the Attorney General’s Office has summoned the Kabul Garrison Commander Gul Nabi Ahmadzai as part of their investigation into Friday’s shooting. 

Security forces allegedly opened fire on protestors at a rally in downtown Kabul on Friday, killing at least five. 

The sources said it was expected Ahmadzai would appear before the AGO on Wednesday.

The Attorney General’s Office said their investigation into Friday’s shooting and the suicide bombings at the burial ceremony of the son of Mohammad Alam Ezedyar, deputy speaker of the Meshrano Jirga (Upper House of Parliament), who was shot on Friday, are ongoing. 

The AGO’s spokesman Jamshed Rasuli said they are making progress with their investigations.

He said they will punish any group or individual at any level if they are found guilty of charges related to either of the incidents.

“Our colleagues continue their efforts to assess the issue from all angles. Our colleagues will ensure justice is carried out regarding security officials and the incidents. They will remain impartial in this respect. We will share the results with you once the investigation is done,” he said.

“The law will be followed regardless of the individual if he has done anything illegal at any level,” he added.

Meanwhile, a number of MPs said they are working with government and protestors to bring them to the negotiations table.

It is expected that 34 representatives from 34 provinces will talk with representatives of government and protestors to settle the issue.

“We have talked with protestors and they are ready to talk. And government is also ready to talk,” said Ali Kazimi, an MP. 

“The delegation will talk about the negotiations with government and the protestors and then we will select a head for the delegation and will carry on our meetings,” said Abdul Rauf Ibrahimi, the Wolesi Jirga (Lower House of Parliament) speaker.

Sources say that the two incidents are being assessed by a high-ranking delegation from the AG’s office – contrary to other incidents which have in the past been investigated by commissions.
