Afghan official: Arrest warrants issued for VP's guards
None
KABUL -- Afghanistan's attorney general is ordering the arrest of nine employees of Vice-President Rashid Dostum in connection with allegations of kidnapping and torturing a former ally.
Dostum, a powerful warlord, has denied the allegations. But spokesman for the attorney general, Jamshid Rasouli, said Tuesday that arrests were ordered after the employees failed to present themselves for questioning. The majority of the nine employees are Dostum's personal guards.
