NEW YORK: The lawyer for an Afghan man awaiting trial in Manhattan federal court on charges that he commanded the Taliban fighters responsible in the killing of three American soldiers said Friday it was “preposterous” to charge his client in deaths that occurred in a war the US started. Attorney Mark Gombiner spoke at a pretrial hearing after his client, Hajji Najibullah,
Attorney said it's "preposterous" for the man to be charged with murder in the deaths of "American soldiers fighting in a war commenced by the United States."
An indictment accuses Haji Najibullah of commanding the Taliban fighters responsible for a fatal ambush of three U.S. service members in Afghanistan.
