    US Judge Gives 42-Year Sentence to Former Taliban Commander

    A former Afghan Taliban commander, aged 50, who faced charges from the United States for kidnapping a journalist and causing the deaths of American troops in 2008, received a 42-year prison sentence on Tuesday. US prosecutors accused Haji Najibullah of kidnapping an American journalist, identified as David Rohde of the New York Times, along with two Afghan civilians. He was also charged with the deaths of three US soldiers and an Afghan interpreter during an attack led by his forces in June 2008.

    Najibullah was captured in Ukraine and extradited to the US in 2020. Last year, he pleaded guilty to charges of hostage-taking and providing material support for terrorist acts resulting in death, according to a Justice Department release.

    Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche emphasized, “Those who harm Americans and partake in terrorism activities will be tracked down and face justice, regardless of how long it takes.” Rohde, along with a translator and driver, was kidnapped in Afghanistan in November 2008. The New York Times, which kept the news confidential to protect Rohde, reported that he escaped captivity in June 2009.

    UAE Sends Nine Arabs to Court Over Kidnapping and Blackmail

    Nine Arab nationals have been brought to court in the UAE on charges related to kidnapping and blackmail over a financial disagreement. Authorities revealed that the suspects held a victim captive for a week, physically assaulted him, and recorded footage showing him restrained and in a compromising position. This footage was later shared on social media as part of an extortion attempt targeting his family for money.

    The Federal Public Prosecution Service in the UAE quickly apprehended the suspects. Investigators recovered mobile phones and vehicles linked to the crime, uncovering evidence indicating a tightly coordinated criminal operation.

    Officials noted that the criminal gang functioned with a high level of coordination and posed a significant threat to public safety and law enforcement stability. The accused face serious consequences, including the possibility of life imprisonment or the death penalty.

    UAE Attorney General Dr. Hamad Saif Al Shamsi emphasized that safeguarding national security and maintaining stability remain top priorities. He also assured that the Public Prosecution will persist in taking strong, fair action against anyone involved in crimes that jeopardize public order or national security.
