Jamal Nasser
Afghan soldier / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jamal Nasser (c. 1985 – March 16, 2003) was an Afghan soldier who died on March 16, 2003 in United States' custody at a Gardez Fire Base, an American outpost in Afghanistan.[1][2][3]
In 2004, eighteen months after his death, when Nasser's death in custody was brought to the attention of American headquarters, his death was attributed to a kidney infection.[3] Later, an investigation determined that the account of death by natural causes was a fiction, the result of collusion among the GIs in the Special Forces unit who had custody of Nasser when he died.[1][2] After a two-year investigation, no one was held responsible for his death. Reprimands were filed in the dossiers of several GIs for the failure to report his death.
