Behsud strongman Alipoor to be punished: Hayat

KABUL (Pajhwok): Acting Interior Minister Hayatullah Hayat says strongman Alipoor has committed a heinous crime and will be punished.

The newly-appointed minister made the remarks during a visit to a special police unit base on Sunday evening.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) claims having adequate evidence of the ANA helicopter being shot down by Alipoor’s men with a laser-guided missile.

The ministry has accused gunmen loyal to Alipoor of shooting down the helicopter that was flying members of the police special unit to Kabul.

The minister prayed for the souls of the victims of the Behsud incident and vowed serious action against the perpetrators. He promised Alipoor would be punished in accordance with the law.

“No one is above the law. The oppressors will be brought to justice,” Hayat said, adding criminals did not belong to any ethnic group.
