ATTACK AFGHAN PRISON

Taliban prisoners wrap themselves with blue blankets inside their cell at Shiberghan prison, about 100 kms west of the city of Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan February 12, 2002. Some 3,300 forgotten prisoners from the United States war on terror are locked in this prison in very poor conditions. Unwanted by the U.S. because they were not important enough in the Taliban or Al Qaeda hierarchy, they have been left to literally rot away in prison built for 800 inmates while the authorities decide what to do with them.
