Finally, the US decided to handover Bagram prison to Afghan authorities. After walking on a long rocky road, it made its mind and handed over the responsibility of Bagram Prison to Afghan government with all considerations it had previously. It is said that President Karzai had promised to meet their concern and consider their worry.

However, the agreement over transition of responsibility of the Prison was made last September. Back then U.S. agreed to give up running prison in Afghan soil which was interpreted by Afghan government as violation of territorial integrity, but stepped back from the agreement and watched out the enthusiasm of government for releasing Taliban prisoners to lubricate peace talks.

Subsequently, the next schedule for handover for the remaining Afghan prisoners was set for early this month during a visit paid to Kabul by US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, but Washington again pulled back after President Karzai told parliament he would release innocent prisoners.

The move will indeed once downgrade the tense relation between Kabul and Washington which headed towards a very destructive cross. On one hand, US did not trust its Kabul allies and thought yielding to their demands might further complicate the situation. The concern was widely sparked by hasty peace process. During last few years, though Taliban made mockery of negotiation with the government and called it a stooge of US, President Karzai kept his arms always open for the so-called angry brothers.

The High Peace Council which started working by order of Presidential office, in a visit made to

Islamabad months ago, asked government of Pakistan to release Taliban Prisoners as good-intention of Kabul to hold serious talks with militants. Though Pakistan let a number of prisoners in its custody to walk free, but later reports showed almost half of them rejoined militant groups and were carrying Jihad against government. So, United States was worried that transferring the responsibility of largest foreign

Prison where high profile Taliban and Al-Qaeda elements are kept would be a dangerous idea. Because it was highly possible that government may embark to such dangerous policy, releasing militants who may rejoin and resume combat against foreign and Afghan security forces.

Seemingly, President Karzai agreed to be more careful. He promised that the transfer would be carried out in a way that assures the safety of the Afghan people and coalition forces by keeping dangerous individuals detained in a secure and humane manner in accordance to Afghan law.
