“Afghan President Hamid Karzai has nominated a cabinet minister to head the country’s spy agency who has been accused of involvement in torture, drug-trafficking and corruption. Asadullah Khalid, the minister for borders and a one-time governor of the Taliban-troubled province of Kandahar, must be approved by a parliamentary vote before taking office as head of the National Directorate of Security. Ahead of his nomination by Karzai late Sunday, the US-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) urged the president not to appoint Khalid, accusing him of rights abuses and graft.”
